A bibliography of metaheuristics-review from 2009 to 2015.

Metaheuristics have been extensively used for solving difficult optimization problems in recent years. However, according to the famous theory (No Free Lunch), it is infeasible for a metaheuristic to optimally solve all problems. As a result, novel metaheuristics have been incessantly introduced. In this paper, we provide a bibliography on recent development in metaheuristics. This work lists and categorizes 112 metaheuristic articles published from 2009 to 2015. The key aim of this work is to gather a group of metaheuristics that plays a fundamental role in development of metaheuristics in the coming years. This paper reveals that the growth of new metaheuristics continues as well as has not seen any interruption. Although this study cannot assert to be comprehensive, it involves a main part of novel publications and therefore, is a helpful guide for new metaheuristic researches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
