            Abstract : 
By analyzing the similarity of a self-organizing system and an optimization process, we highlight that optimization can be considered as self-organization. We analyze the characteristics of some popular met heuristic algorithms such as firefly algorithm and cuckoo search for applications in self-organizing systems.
