Description: An R implementation of the Self-Organising Migrating
        Algorithm, a general-purpose, stochastic optimisation
        algorithm. The approach is similar to that of genetic
        algorithms, although it is based on the idea of a series of
        "migrations" by a fixed set of individuals, rather than the
        development of successive generations. It can be applied to any
        cost-minimisation problem with a bounded parameter space, and
        is robust to local minima.
