Abstract
Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) is one of the recent meta-heuristic algorithms proposed to solve optimization problems. The Imperialist Competitive Algorithm is based on a socio-politically inspired optimization strategy. This paper presents four different variants of this algorithm. These methods are applied to some engineering design problems and a comparison is made among the results of these algorithms and other meta-heuristics. The results show the efficiency and capabilities of the ICA in finding the optimum design
