چکیده

Swarm Intelligence is the part of Artificial Intelligence based on study of actions of individuals in various decentralized systems. The Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) metaheuristic has been introduced fairly recently as a new direction in the field of Swarm Intelligence. Artificial bees represent agents, which collaboratively solve complex combinatorial optimization problem. The chapter presents a classification and analysis of the results achieved using Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) to model complex engineering and management processes. The primary goal of this chapter is to acquaint readers with the basic principles of Bee Colony Optimization, as well as to indicate potential BCO applications in engineering and management.

A Survey on the Applications of Bee Colony Optimization Techniques

In this paper an overview of the areas where the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) and its variants are applied have been given. Bee System was identified by Sato and Hagiwara in 1997 and the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) was identified by Lucic and Teodorovic in 2001. BCO has emerged as a specialized class of Swarm Intelligence with bees as agents. It is an emerging field for researchers in the fi...

Routing and wavelength assignment in all-optical networks based on the bee colony optimization

Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem in all-optical networks assumes determining the routes and wavelengths to be used to create the lightpaths for connection requests. The RWA problem belongs to a class of difficult combinatorial optimization problems. We propose the Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) heuristic algorithm tailored for the RWA problem (BCO–RWA) in all-optical networks with...

Advanced OR and AI Methods in Transportation BEE COLONY OPTIMIZATION – A COOPERATIVE LEARNING APPROACH TO COMPLEX TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS

Various natural systems teach us that very simple individual organisms can create systems able to perform highly complex tasks by dynamically interacting with each other. The Bee Colony Optimization Metaheuristic (BCO) is proposed in this paper. The artificial bee colony behaves partially alike, and partially differently from bee colonies in nature. The BCO is capable to solve deterministic com...
