Abstract Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is an optimization algorithm developed by
Mirjalili and Lewis in 2016. An overview of WOA is described in this paper, rooted from the …

As one of the gatekeepers of quality software systems, requirements' prioritization (RP) is
often used to select the most important requirements as perceived by system stakeholders …

This paper suggests a new nature inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm which is
called Sea Lion Optimization (SLnO) algorithm. The SLnO algorithm imitates the hunting …

Abstract [Context and Motivation] Many requirements prioritization approaches have been
proposed, however not all of them have been investigated empirically in real-life settings. As …

Aspect extraction represents a core task of aspect-based sentiment analysis. This study
presents a supervised aspect extraction algorithm for explicit aspect extraction from formal …

Independent task scheduling is considered one of the most popular issues in cloud
computing environment. This study proposes a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm …

There is a shred of ample evidence that optimization is an enormous field that pervades
essentially every aspect of our day-to-day life ranging from academic and engineering fields …

Requirement engineering is the base phase of any software project, since this phase is
concerned about requirements identification, processing and manipulation. The main source …

Requirements review is an effective technique to ensure the quality of requirements in
practice, especially in safety-critical domains (eg, avionics systems, automotive systems). In …

Swarm intelligence algorithms are metaheuristics inspired by the collective behavior of
species such as birds, fish, bees, and ants. They are used in many optimization problems …
