Abstract: Several authors have recently pointed to a crisis within the metaheuristic research field, particularly the proliferation of metaphor-inspired metaheuristics. Common problems identified include using non-standard terminology, poor experimental practices, and, most importantly, the introduction of purportedly new algorithms that are only superficially different from existing ones. In this paper, we argue that although metaphors may be good sources of inspiration and creativity, being the only reason for publication is insufficient. Instead, adopting a formal, mathematically sound representation of metaheuristics is a valuable path to follow. We believe this will lead to more insightful research.
