Nature-inspired computing has been a hot topic in scientific and engineering fields in recent years. Inspired by the shallow water wave theory, the paper presents a novel metaheuristic method, named water wave optimization (WWO), for global optimization problems. We show how the beautiful phenomena of water waves, such as propagation, refraction, and breaking, can be used to derive effective mechanisms for searching in a high-dimensional solution space. In general, the algorithmic framework of WWO is simple, and easy to implement with a small-size population and only a few control parameters. We have tested WWO on a diverse set of benchmark problems, and applied WWO to a real-world high-speed train scheduling problem in China. The computational results demonstrate that WWO is very competitive with state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms including invasive weed optimization (IWO), biogeography-based optimization (BBO), bat algorithm (BA), etc. The new metaheuristic is expected to have wide applications in real-world engineering optimization problems.
