Title: Realizing an optimization approach inspired from Piagets theory on cognitive development,
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to introduce an artificial intelligence based
optimization approach, which is inspired from Piagets theory on cognitive
development. The approach has been designed according to essential processes
that an individual may experience while learning something new or improving his
/ her knowledge. These processes are associated with the Piagets ideas on an
individuals cognitive development. The approach expressed in this paper is a
simple algorithm employing swarm intelligence oriented tasks in order to
overcome single-objective optimization problems. For evaluating effectiveness
of this early version of the algorithm, test operations have been done via some
benchmark functions. The obtained results show that the approach / algorithm
can be an alternative to the literature in terms of single-objective
optimization. The authors have suggested the name: Cognitive Development
Optimization Algorithm (CoDOA) for the related intelligent optimization
approach.
