In this paper presents the hybrid algorithm using firefly and a cuckoo search algorithm for flexible open shop scheduling problem. The flexible, open shop scheduling is known to be NP-hard. Cuckoo algorithm (CA) is one of the widely used techniques for constrained optimization. And it gave the best results compared to other algorithms. A disadvantage of cuckoo algorithm though is that they easi...

Coevolution between antagonistic species has produced instances of exquisite mimicry. Among brood-parasitic cuckoos, host defences have driven the evolution of mimetic eggs, but the evolutionary arms race was believed to be constrained from progressing to the chick stage, with cuckoo nestlings generally looking unlike host young. However, recent studies on bronze-cuckoos have confounded theoret...

This paper is centered around the design of a threadand memory-safe language, primarily for the compilation of application-specific services for extensible operating systems. We describe various issues that have influenced the design of our language, called Cuckoo, that guarantees safety of programs with potentially asynchronous flows of control. Comparisons are drawn between Cuckoo and related...

The cuckoo search algorithm is a novel metaheuristic based on the reproduction behavior of some cuckoo species in combination with the Lévy flight behavior of some birds and fruit flies. It has been applied to a wide range of optimization problems with good performance such as a TSP; nonetheless, it has yet to be applied to the vehicle routing problem, specifically the capacitated vehicle routi...

In coevolutionary arms races, like between cuckoos and their hosts, it is easy to understand why the host is under selection favouring anti-parasitism behaviour, such as egg rejection, which can lead to parasites evolving remarkable adaptations to 'trick' their host, such as mimetic eggs. But what about cases where the cuckoo egg is not mimetic and where the host does not act against it? Classi...

In this paper, a Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is proposed for solving environmental economic load dispatch (EELD) problem with quadratic fuel function. Cuckoo Search is a new meta-heuristic algorithm inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species for solving optimization problems with promising results. ...

Modifications that introduce parallelization of standard cuckoo search algorithm are proposed in this paper. Basic form of the cuckoo search algorithm has already shown great potential for optimization problems, especially when applied to unconstrained continuous functions. In this paper two aspects of parallelization are proposed. The first one addresses the performance issue, while the second...

Arms races between brood parasites and their hosts provide model systems for studying the evolutionary repercussions of species interactions. However, how naive hosts identify brood parasites as enemies remains poorly understood, despite its ecological and evolutionary significance. Here, we investigate whether young, cuckoo-naive superb fairy-wrens, Malurus cyaneus, can learn to recognize cuck...

Cuckoo is a new evolutionary algorithm which is inspired by lifestyle of bird family. This study proposes Cuckoo algorithm for prediction of the surface roughness of Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ). Several prediction models with different initial eggs were developed and analyzed to investigate the best predicted surface roughness value. The paired sample t-test was used to demonstrate the validity of...

We present a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) application protocol that detects a certain man in the middle attack where an adversary captures and replaces a legitimate computing platform with an imposter that forwards platform authentication challenges to the captive over a high speed data link. This revised Cuckoo attack allows the imposter to satisfy a user’s query of platform integrity, tricki...
