Abstract
Metaheuristics are universal optimization algorithms that are used to solve difficult problems, which are unsolvable by classic approaches. In this paper, we aim to construct a novel class of socio-cognitive metaheuristics based on the caste metaphor. We focus on classic evolutionary and agent-based metaheuristics, adding a sociologically inspired structure of the population and cognitively inspired variation operators. In addition to giving the background and details of the proposed algorithms, we apply them to the optimization of a variety of difficult benchmark problems. © 2023 The Author(s)
