ASSA simulates the soldiers to search an enemy’s important goal, and transforms the process of solving optimization problem into the process of searching optimal goal by searching swarm with set rules. This work selects complicated and highn dimension functions to deeply analyse the performance for unconstrained and constrained optimization problems and the results produced by ASSA, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Fish-Swarm Algorithm (AFSA) have been compared. The main factors which influence the performance of ASSA are also discussed. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ASSA optimization algorithm. Keywords: Artificial Searching Swarm Algorithm; Bionic Intelligent Optimization Algorithm; Optimization; Evolutionary Computation; Swarm Intelligence 1. Introduction cussed [6]. In ASSA, the process of solving the opti- mization problem is transformed into the process of finding the optimal solution for searching swarm with set rules, then through the search and cooperation of search- ing individuals the optimal solution is expected to find. This work selects complicated and highn dimension functions to deeply analyse the performance for opti- mizing multivariable functions and the results produced by ASSA, GA, PSO, AFSA have been compared, and the main factors which influence the performance of
