Abstract

In today’s world, areas of science, engineering, and others have their own applications in the field of optimization. It involves the usage of mathematical modeling. In each search space, finding an acceptable solution to an objective function is the main aim. Optimization algorithms have been classified into two types, such as deterministic and stochastic. Deterministic offers only a theoretical solution in solving optimization problems but stochastic provides a much faster solution in finding a global optimum. Reliability optimization says how the software product can be trusted. The comparison of different optimization algorithms can be made for the best one to support in terms of software reliability. Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm is a novel nature-inspired algorithm. It is used to solve optimization problems that are complex in nature. The algorithm depends on the broodparasitic strategy of Cuckoo species. The usage of Levy flights is used to produce new candidate resolutions. It can improve the relationship between exploration and exploitation toward the potential of searching. It is used in solving engineering problems, such as embedded systems, distribution of networks, and scheduling problems. In this ...
