N2 - This study proposes a modified version of cultural algorithms (CAs) which benefits from rule-based system for influence function. This rule-based system selects and applies the suitable knowledge source according to the distribution of the solutions. This is important to use appropriate influence function to apply to a specific individual, regarding to its role in the search process. This rule based system is optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The proposed modified CA algorithm is compared with several other optimization algorithms including GA, particle swarm optimization (PSO), especially standard version of cultural algorithm. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed modification enhances the performance of the CA in terms of global optimality.
