This paper proposes a novel hybrid multi-objective optimization algorithm named HMOSHSSA by synthesizing the strengths of Multi-objective Spotted Hyena Optimizer (MOSHO) and Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA). HMOSHSSA utilizes the exploration capability of MOSHO to explore the search space effectively and leader and follower selection mechanism of SSA to achieve global best solution with faster convergence. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on 24 benchmark test functions, and its performance is compared with seven well-known multi-objective optimization algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that HMOSHSSA acquires very competitive results and outperforms other algorithms in terms of convergence speed, search-ability and accuracy. Additionally, HMOSHSSA is also applied on seven well-known engineering problems to further verify its efficacy. The results reveal the effectiveness of proposed algorithm toward solving real-life multi-objective optimization problems.
