Jellyfish Search Optimizer

The Jellyfish Search Optimizer (JSO) is a biologically-inspired metaheuristic algorithm introduced by Shi et al. in 2022, based on the movement and foraging behavior of jellyfish in ocean environments. Jellyfish exhibit two distinct behaviors: passive drifting with ocean currents (exploration) and active swimming toward food sources (exploitation). JSO captures these behaviors to create an effective balance between global search and local refinement.
