A study of search neighbourhood in the bees algorithm

ambiguous and subjective (Ang et al., 2010). Over the years, the classical TRIZ has been studied and extended to embrace broader features and inventive principles. This study led to the development of a new TRIZ matrix, which contained up to 48 features, with 77 inventive principles (Mann et al., 2003). Several years later, the study of TRIZ had brought to another matrix, which comprised 50 features, with 82 solutions (Mann 2009). The increasing number of features and inventive solutions did not necessarily guarantee a solution to a problem. On the other hand, it did minimise the number of trials and error of the solution finding process (Duran-Novoa et al., 2011). Considering the problem from a different perspective might also derive a system in different and stronger ways. Furthermore, the higher the level of the disagreement, the more obvious it would be and become easier to remove it
