Abstract: Central Force Optimization（CFO） algorithm is a new deterministic multi-dimensional search metaheuristic algorithm, but calculation of its initial probes is complicated, thus the CFO algorithm needs long computing time. The uniform design method is used for the problem of complicated calculation of initial probes. According to this method, the CFO algorithm based on uniform design is proposed. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to some typical test functions, and compared with the CFO algorithm. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computing time and the ability of searching optimal solution is still guaranteed. Thus efficiency of CFO algorithm is raised obviously.
