New computational models for big data and optimization

The article describes a computational model of island biogeography. Its application can be used to solve engineering problems associated with optimization. The authors present a method of biogeography and its modifications, as well as present the results of the comparative analysis of the biogeography method and its modifications. Experiments were carried out on known benchmarks for the transcomputational traveling salesman problem. The criteria for comparison of the test method is as follows: efficiency, time, diversity of population.
