Gonzalez et al. , Vol. 284, 101 111 2010 . ref In optimization, a common strategy is to search for the optimal solution starting from a set of initial guess solutions either random and educated guess . In the case when the cost functions are multimodal with multiple local best solutions, the final solutions may heavily depend on the initial starting solutions. In order to minimize such dependence on initial random solutions, most modern algorithms, especially metaheuristic algorithms, are able to escape local optima by using some sophisticated random techniques. However, most these algorithms are one stage type that is, once initialization is done, the search process continues until an algorithm stops. Running an algorithm many times from different initial solutions may occasionally improve the overall performance on average. Eagle strategy improves this by using an iterative, interacting two stage strategy to enhance the search efficiency by escaping the local optima and use initial solutions in difference regions. It uses a slow search stage and a fast stage to simulate an eagle searching for prey tends to search on a large area and then quickly ... stages in the strategy, each stage can employ different algorithms.
