4.4 Cuckoo search in real world applications 79
The third module, which is the most important, contains the main quantum cuckoo
dynamics. This module is composed of four main operations inspired from quantum
computing and cuckoo search algorithm: measurement, mutation, interference, and L´evy
flights operations. QICSA uses these operations to evolve the entire swarm through
generations [24].
4.4 Cuckoo search in real world applications
This section presents sample applications for cuckoo search. CS is successfully applied
in many disciplines in decision support and making, image processing domain, and en-
gineering. The main focus is on identifying the fitness function and the optimization
variables used in individual applications. Table 5.2 summarizes ...
