Why should I build FFOA blog here?

 

なぜ私はここFFOAのブログを構築する必要がありますか?

 

Motivation:

More than there-year ago, our FOAA group had sent a lot of papers of these topics to the famous (SCI,TSSCI) Journals. Unfortunately, most of these articles are all being delayed and rejected. Our NSC (Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan) plans to apply for grants are also not being considered. So in the future we are going to use this blog to share our past achievements, and will also present our current plans to this field, just hoping to be helpful for the academic research around the world.

Let me first introduce the book, “Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (FFOA),” written by Taiwan's scholar Dr. Pan. Up to now, most of the swarm intelligence algorithms are invented by foreigners. However, he is one of the scarce scholars who wrote this book not for making money, but hoping to share the new ideas around the world.

Perhaps some readers may ask why the author can propose this optimization algorithm.

Here is the answer:

One day, the author eats the watermelon in his room, not so long attracting a few fruit flies. At that time, the doors and windows are closed and the air conditioner is in operation, fruit flies can still detect where the food is. For the curiosity, the author tried to find the answer through the internet, and finally realized the sensory characteristics of the fruit flies. He discovered that Drosophila fruit flies use their senses of smell to find food around the location, and then visually determine the correct position. Therefore, the author follows these two steps to develop this algorithm.
