== Some new points on Meta-heuristic Algorithm ==
In January 2016, by calling “Imperialist Competitive Algorithm” a worldwide algorithm, Sepehr Ghaderi, B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from Iran, changed it into an independent subject. He added two new branches to this type of algorithm called: “speech coding” and “acceptance of failure”. He studied this type of meta-heuristic algorithm in an article titled “Masonic Worldview Based on Three Historical Periods” from a different point of view. By studying the basic patterns written and used by American-Jewish governor-scientists before and after World War II, he analyzed some samples of International political policies in three historical periods.
== Applications ==
ICA is used to solve different optimization problems in various areas of engineering and science. The following are some of the applications of this algorithm.
