چکیده
This paper introduces two heuristic algorithms and illustrates the similarities and differences between the two algorithms; in the end, through the empirical analysis to find their respective advantages. This paper mainly focuses on the firefly algorithm, which is a new type of algorithm, inspired by the fluorescence information exchange between the fireflies in the nature. By comparative analysis with the basic ant colony algorithm, this text gives a final assessment of the firefly algorithm, and makes a prospect for its development.

A hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on ABC and Firefly algorithms
Abstract— In this paper we have tried to develop an altered version of the artificial bee colony algorithm which is inspired from and combined with the meta-heuristic algorithm of firefly. In this method, we have tried to change the main equation of searching within the original ABC algorithm. On this basis, a new combined equation was used for steps of employed bees and onlooker bees. For this...
متن کاملA Hybrid Modified Meta-heuristic Algorithm for Solving the Traveling Salesman Problem
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is one of the most important combinational optimization problems that have nowadays received much attention because of its practical applications in industrial and service problems. In this paper, a hybrid two-phase meta-heuristic algorithm called MACSGA used for solving the TSP is presented. At the first stage, the TSP is solved by the modified ant colony s...

متن کاملCombining Harmony search algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization algorithm to increase the lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks are the new generation of networks that typically are formed great numbers of nodes and the communications of these nodes are done as Wireless. The main goal of these networks is collecting data from neighboring environment of network sensors. Since the sensor nodes are battery operated and there is no possibility of charging or replacing the batteries, the lifetime of ...
