Recent Developments of Fireworks Algorithms

Abstract

Fireworks Algorithm has been proposed for almost 10 years. Because of its basic but profound collaborative searching manner and advantages of universal effectiveness, hundreds of scholars have conducted and published a wide range of work on it. This chapter serves as a background description of fireworks algorithms' developments by introducing its detailed status of researches and applications. Specifically, it gives a brief summarization and analysis of published researches on Fireworks Algorithms since 2010 to clarify characteristics of its historical progress and future trend in detailed fields like algorithms improvements, theoretical analysis, and practical applications.
