ABSTRACT

Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm was introduced first in 2014 and its main inspiration is the intelligence of the chicken swarms. The chapter is organized as follows: the first section introduces the CSO algorithm, the second section presents the algorithm in more details and in addition it also presents the pseudo code of the algorithm, the third section presents the source code in Matlab, the fourth section presents the source code in C++, the fifth section presents a step-by-step numerical example of the algorithm and finally the sixth section presents the conclusions.
