SSA: Salp Swarm Algorithm

SSA is a novel algorithm for solving single-objective optimization problems

You are now following this Submission

The main inspiration of SSA is the swarming behaviour of salps when navigating and foraging in oceans. Read this webpage to know more about the inspiration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salp
