Title: What is Spiral Optimization Algorithm?

Abstract: 

In recent years, nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms have been attracting more attention in recognition of their versatility and conception. 
With this as background, the spiral optimization (SPO) algorithm, a metaheuristic inspired by spiral phenomena in nature, was proposed by Tamura and Yasuda to solve continuous optimization problems. 
In this seminar, motivation, modelling and theory on SPO algorithm are introduced.
