It has been observed that no single metaheuristic algorithm is universally ideal for all applications. This realization underscores the opportunity for the introduction of new metaheuristic algorithms or enhancements to existing ones.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this work is to propose Quokka swarm optimization (QSO), a novel nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization technique. The QSO simulates the cooperative behavior of quokka animals, which can be used to address optimization issues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A group of common unconstrained and constrained test functions is employed to demonstrate the strength of the proposed approach. To test the performance of QSO, 43 popular test functions that are used in the optimization were employed as benchmarks. The solutions have been refining their positions in tandem with the ongoing discovery of the best solution. In addition, QSO can substitute the worst quokka with the best child found so far to improve the solutions. Performance comparisons using the Blue monkey swarm optimization, Gray wolf optimization, Biogeography-based optimizer, Artificial bee colony, Particle swarm optimization, and Gravitational search algorithm were also performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The obtained results showed that QSO is competitive in comparison to the chosen metaheuristic algorithms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jisys-2024-0051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]],"date-time":"2024-06-21T10:40:24Z","timestamp":1718966424000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Quokka swarm optimization: A new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Wijdan Jaber","family":"AL-kubaisy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, College of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Anbar , 31001 , Ramadi , Anbar , Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Belal","family":"AL-Khateeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, College of Computer Science and Information Technology, University of Anbar , 31001 , Ramadi , Anbar , Iraq"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026031513584567564_j_jisys-2024-0051_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Yousefikhoshbakht M.
