== Multi-objective Bat Algorithm (MOBA) ==

Using a simple weighted sum with random weights, a very effective but yet simple multiobjective bat algorithm (MOBA) has been developed to solve multiobjective engineering design tasks.<ref>X. S. Yang, bat algorithm for multi-objective optimisation, Int. J. Bio-Inspired Computation, Vol. 3, 267-274 (2011). </ref> Another multiobjective bat algorithm by combining bat algorithm with

NSGA-II produces very competitive results with good efficiency.<ref> T. C. Bora, L. S. Coelho, L. Lebensztajn, Bat-inspired optimization
