ABSTRACT
Dispersive Flies Optimisation (DFO) is proposed relatively recently in 2014 with the aim of providing an optimiser with the smallest number of parameters to tune and a smallest number of vectors. This is particularly suitable for researchers and students who would like to form a better understanding of the underlying behaviour of the complex communication between members of the population and observe the interwoven convergence and divergence processes. This paper explains the details of standard DFO, allowing the readers to understand the principles behind the algorithm and its ability to be used for various problems.
