WOA is a is one of the latest nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithm introduced by Mirjalili [15] , WOA emulates the social behaviour of humpback whale when hunting the prey. A detailed descriptions of the whales' behaviours can be found in [16] . The Humpback whales hunt group of krill (preys), which closes to the surface by spinning around them within a shrinking circle and creating bubbles along a '9'-shaped path, this technique is called spiral bubble-net feeding method, as shown in figure 1 . The spiral bubble-net attacking method were represented in the exploitation phase, while the random search process for the preys were represented in the exploration phase, the following subsections discuss the mathematical model of each phase.
