Firefly optimization is a new optimization algorithm which has appeared in 2009. This algorithm belongs to the class of metaheuristic algorithms. As such algorithms can optimized any cost and functions, firefly optimization has been tested for the optimization of PID controllers (with no reformulations of specifications) and the identification of nonlinear systems.
