Over the past two decades, structural optimization studies have been performed extensively by researchers across the world. Most recent investigations have focused on increasing the efficiency and robustness of gradient based optimization techniques and extending them to multidisciplinary objective functions. The existing global optimization techniques suffer with requirement of enormous comput...

Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is a metaheuristic optimization algorithm developed by Xing-she Yang and Suash Deb in 2009. This paper explores the various research work done in application of Cuckoo Search algorithm in optimization of geometry, processes, signals and systems in real world engineering problems. Various researchers have applied Cuckoo Search algorithm in the following broad domains...
