Abstract

A dynamic population model of 2-dimensional lattice based on Cellular Automata and metaheuristics is used to simulate prey-predator behavior. The equations of movement from metaheuristics African Buffalo Optimization (ABO) are used for the behavior of the migration of predators. The simulations describes that a difference in the learning factors used by the ABO metaheuristic, increases the possibility of prey survival.
