1. A method comprising:
- determining that a population of candidate solutions for an optimization problem has prematurely converged during a metaheuristic optimization run;
determining a cause for premature convergence of the population based, at least in part, on an analysis of the metaheuristic optimization run;
selecting a first cataclysm strategy of a plurality of different cataclysm strategies based, at least in part, on one of the cause of the premature convergence and a history of the metaheuristic optimization run; and
simulating a cataclysm based, at least in part, on the first cataclysm strategy.

Abstract
It is determined that a population of candidate solutions for an optimization problem has prematurely converged during a metaheuristic optimization run. A cause for premature convergence of the population is determined based, at least in part, on an analysis of the metaheuristic optimization run. A first cataclysm strategy of a plurality of cataclysm strategies is selected based, at least in part, on one of the cause of the premature convergence and a history of the metaheuristic optimization run. A cataclysm is simulated based, at least in part, on the first cataclysm strategy.
