Socio-cognitive Evolution Strategies

Socio-cognitive computing is a paradigm developed for the last several years, it consists in introducing into metaheuristics mechanisms inspired by inter-individual learning and cognition. It was successfully applied in hybridizing ACO and PSO metaheuristics. In this paper we have followed our previous experiences in order to hybridize the acclaimed evolution strategies. The newly constructed hybrids were applied to popular benchmarks and compared with their referential versions.
