ABSTRACT
The social spider optimization algorithm (SSO) is a population based nature-inspired algorithm which mimics the social behavior of the social spider colony. In this chapter, we introduce the basic concepts of the SSO algorithm and how it works. We present the pseudo-code of the SSO algorithm and its source code in MATLAB and C++ language. In the end of this chapter, we give a numerical example to illustrate how SSO algorithm can solve a global optimization problem and help the user to implement it on various problems. Finally, we present the conclusion in the last section.
