title: 'MetaEEEA: Metaheuristic Algorithms with Explicit Exploration'
version: 1.0.0
abstract: Solves single-objective optimization problems by using bio-inspired metaheuristic
  algorithms. The implemented metaheuristics are the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm,
  the Ladybug Beetle Optimization Algorithm and the Prairie Dog Optimization Algorithm.
  For all these optimization algorithms, the search of optimal values can be reinforced
  with the explicit exploration strategy proposed by Salinas-Gutiérrez and Muñoz Zavala
