Abstract

The Atom Search Optimization (ASO) algorithm is a recent advancement in metaheuristic optimization inspired by principles of molecular dynamics. It mathematically models and simulates the natural behavior of atoms, with interactions governed by forces derived from the Lennard-Jones potential and constraint forces based on bond-length potentials. Since its inception in 2019, it has been successfully applied to various challenges across diverse fields in technology and science. Despite its notable achievements and the rapidly growing body of literature on ASO in the metaheuristic optimization domain, a comprehensive study evaluating the success of its various implementations is still lacking. To address this gap, this article provides a thorough review of half a decade of advancements in ASO research, synthesizing a wide range of studies to highlight key ASO variants, their foundational principles, and significant achievements. It examines diverse applications, including single- and multi-objective optimization problems, and introduces a well-structured taxonomy to guide future exploration in ASO-related research. The reviewed literature reveals that several variants of the ASO algorithm, including modifications, hybridizations, and multi-objective implementations, have been developed to tackle complex optimization problems. Moreover, ASO has been effectively applied across various domains, such as engineering, healthcare and medical applications, Internet of Things and communication, clustering and data mining, environmental modeling, and security, with engineering emerging as the most prevalent application area. By addressing the common challenges researchers face in selecting appropriate algorithms for real-world problems, this study provides valuable insights into the practical applications of ASO and offers guidance for designing ASO variants tailored to specific optimization problems.

Atom搜索优化:对其变体、应用和未来方向的全面回顾。
原子搜索优化(ASO)算法是受分子动力学原理启发的元启发式优化的最新进展。它用数学模型模拟原子的自然行为,由伦纳德-琼斯势和基于键长势的约束力所支配的相互作用。自2019年成立以来,它已成功应用于不同技术和科学领域的各种挑战。尽管它取得了显著的成就,并且在元启发式优化领域中关于ASO的文献也在迅速增长,但仍然缺乏评估其各种实现成功的综合研究。为了弥补这一空白,本文全面回顾了近五年来ASO研究的进展,综合了广泛的研究成果,重点介绍了ASO的关键变体、基本原理和重大成就。它考察了不同的应用,包括单目标和多目标优化问题,并引入了一个结构良好的分类,以指导未来在aso相关研究中的探索。综述的文献表明,ASO算法的几种变体,包括修改、杂交和多目标实现,已被开发用于解决复杂的优化问题。此外,ASO在工程、医疗保健、物联网和通信、聚类和数据挖掘、环境建模、安全等多个领域得到了有效的应用,其中工程领域成为最流行的应用领域。通过解决研究人员在为现实问题选择合适算法时面临的共同挑战,本研究为ASO的实际应用提供了有价值的见解,并为设计针对特定优化问题的ASO变体提供了指导。
