title = "Cuckoo search via l{\'e}vy flight applied to optimal water supply system design",
abstract = "Designing optimal water supply systems is an important purpose of any urban system that involves relevant installation, operation and maintenance costs. However, achieving the optimal design is known to be a complex task, indeed the corresponding mathematical model for this problem leads to a non-linear and non-convex problem classified as NP-hard. In this paper, we propose using the cuckoo search algorithm which a modern bio-inspired metaheuristic based on the obligate brood parasitic behavior of cuckoo birds. This behavior is combined with the interesting L{\'e}vy flight, which mimic the exploration of some birds and flies, that move by combining straight flights and ninety degrees turns. The proposed approach results in a fast convergence algorithm able to noticeably reduce the number of objective function evaluations needed to solve this problem.",
