An Improved K-Means with Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Clustering Crimes

Crime detection is one of the major issues in the field of criminology. In fact, criminology includes knowing the details of a crime and its intangible relations with the offender. In spite of the enormous amount of data on offenses and offenders, and the complex and intangible semantic relationships between this information, criminology has become one of the most important areas in the field o...

OPTIMIZATION OF RC FRAMES BY AN IMPROVED ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM

A new meta-heuristic algorithm is proposed for optimal design of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures subject to combinations of gravity and lateral static loads based on ACI 318-08 design code. In the present work, artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) is focused and an improved ABCA (IABCA) is proposed to achieve the optimization task. The total cost of the RC frames is minimized during...

An Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for the Set Covering Problem

In this paper, we present a new Artificial Bee Colony algorithm to solve the non-unicost Set Covering Problem. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is a recent metaheuristic technique based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bee swarm. Computational results show that Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is competitive in terms of solution quality with other metaheuristic approaches for the...

Elite Opposition-based Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Global Optimization

 Numerous problems in engineering and science can be converted into optimization problems. Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a newly developed stochastic optimization algorithm and has been widely used in many areas. However, due to the stochastic characteristics of its solution search equation, the traditional ABC algorithm often suffers from poor exploitation. Aiming at this weakness o...
