Biogeography-Based Optimization

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) is a nature-inspired algorithm that mimics how species migrate and inhabit different regions on Earth to solve complex problems. It treats potential solutions as "habitats," where each habitat's quality reflects how good that solution is. High-quality habitats share their features with nearby or similar habitats through "migration," helping the overall population improve over time. This process balances exploration of new solutions and exploitation of the best ones, enabling efficient search for optimal or near-optimal solutions in various optimization challenges.
