This paper investigates the optimal design of symmetric switching CMOS inverter using the Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS) algorithm. SOS has been recently proposed as an effective evolutionary global optimization method that is inspired by the symbiotic interaction strategies between different organisms in an ecosystem. In SOS, the three common types of symbiotic relationships (mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism) are modeled using simple expressions, which are used to find the global minimum of the fitness function. Unlike other optimization methods, SOS has no parameters to be tuned, which makes it an attractive and easy-to-implement optimization method. Here, SOS is used to design a high speed symmetric switching CMOS inverter, which is considered the most fundamental logic gate. SOS results are compared to those obtained using several optimization methods, like particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), and other ones, available in the literature. It is shown that the SOS is a robust straight-forward evolutionary algorithm that can compete with other well-known advanced methods.

An enhanced symbiotic organisms search (ESOS) algorithm is developed and presented. Modifications to the basic symbiotic organisms search algorithm are carried out in all three phases of the algorithm with the aim of balancing the exploitation and exploration capabilities of the algorithm. To verify validity and capability of the ESOS algorithm in solving general optimization problems, the CEC2014 set of 22 benchmark functions is first optimized and the results are compared with other metaheuristic algorithms. The ESOS algorithm is then used to optimize the sizing and shape of five benchmark trusses with multiple frequency constraints. The best (minimum) mass, mean mass, standard deviation of the mass, total number of function evaluations, and the values of frequency constraints are then compared with those of a number of other metaheuristic solutions available in the literature. It is shown that the proposed ESOS algorithm is generally more efficient in optimizing the shape and sizing of trusses with dynamic frequency constraints compared to other reported metaheuristic algorithms, including the basic symbiotic organisms search and its other recently proposed improved variants such as the improved symbiotic organisms search algorithm (ISOS) and modified symbiotic organisms search algorithm (MSOS).

Clustering is an important unsupervised analysis technique for big data mining. It finds its application in several domains including biomedical documents of the MEDLINE database. Document clustering algorithms based on metaheuristics is an active research area. However, these algorithms suffer from the problems of getting trapped in local optima, need many parameters to adjust, and the documents should be indexed by a high dimensionality matrix using the traditional vector space model. In order to overcome these limitations, in this paper a new documents clustering algorithm (ASOS-LSI) with no parameters is proposed. It is based on the recent symbiotic organisms search metaheuristic (SOS) and enhanced by an acceleration technique. Furthermore, the documents are represented by semantic indexing based on the famous latent semantic indexing (LSI). Conducted experiments on well-known biomedical documents datasets show the significant superiority of ASOS-LSI over five famous algorithms in terms of compactness, f-measure, purity, misclassified documents, entropy, and runtime.
