Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted HighlightsWe propose a new nature-inspired social-spider-based swarm intelligence algorithm.We introduce a new social animal foraging model into meta-heuristic design.We introduce the design of information loss to handle pre-mature convergence.We perform a series of benchmark simulations to demonstrate the performance.We investigate the impact of control parameters on optimization results. The growing complexity of real-world problems has motivated computer scientists to search for efficient problem-solving methods. Metaheuristics based on evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence are outstanding examples of nature-inspired solution techniques. Inspired by the social spiders, we propose a novel social spider algorithm to solve global optimization problems. This algorithm is mainly based on the foraging strategy of social spiders, utilizing the vibrations on the spider web to determine the positions of preys. Different from the previously proposed swarm intelligence algorithms, we introduce a new social animal foraging strategy model to solve optimization problems. In addition, we perform preliminary parameter sensitivity analysis for our proposed algorithm, developing guidelines for choosing the parameter values. The social spider algorithm is evaluated by a series of widely used benchmark functions, and our proposed algorithm has superior performance compared with other state-of-the-art metaheuristics.
