The Bee Hive At Work: Exploring its Searching and Optimizing Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
A model of the bee hive that clearly separates the self-organizing decision-making behaviour of the bees in the hive and the problem-specific behaviour of the bees outside the hive is presented. This separation allows for the applications of the model for different problem domains. The Bee Hive at Work model has been applied to several problem domains. Results of the application to three problem domains are presented web search, function optimization and hierarchical optimization. In web search, the model has been successful in following a story as it was developing on web sites. Another its application was able to find global optima of various mathematical functions. We explored also to some extent a rather novel idea of building a hierarchical hive.

Exploring the bee hive metaphor as a model for problem solving: search, optimisation, and more
Bee Colony (Karaboga, 2005). In this part we will describe a specialization of our model (Navrat, 2006A) to optimisation of mathematical functions. This model is very general and does not define the behaviour of the bee outside the hive. It means that before applying the model to specific problems this behaviour has to be defined. This generality brings an opportunity to fine-tune the behaviour...
متن کاملWeb information retrieval inspired by social insect behaviour
This work is focused on retrieving information from Web, which represents the biggest source of information that could be used by human. In the process of retrieving useful information, new approaches have been established by using different principles and theories. Methods of solving problems inspired by nature or biologically are used in Informatics quite frequently. Their potential is confir...
متن کاملBee Hive at Work: Following a Developing Story on the Web
Problem solving methods, inspired biologically or by nature, are gaining in importance. Their potential for devising new, but also for increasing efficiency of some well-known methods for solving different kinds of problems, is becoming more and more obvious. The behaviour of social insects provides a lot of inspiration. We took inspiration from honey bees, in particular the way they behave in ...
متن کاملHigh Fructose Corn Syrup: A Potential Feed for Honey Bee
The honey bee obtains its all nutritional demands from nectar and pollen. In the case of nectar and pollen limitation, beekeepers use a substitute. It has been a long time that sucrose is used as the conventional substitute for nectar and pollen in the bee feeding to provide its nutritional needs during winter and stimulation of springchr('39')s larval nourishment. High fructose corn syrup is ...
متن کاملHow Can Bee Colony Algorithm Serve Medicine?
Healthcare professionals usually should make complex decisions with far reaching consequences and associated risks in health care fields. As it was demonstrated in other industries, the ability to drill down into pertinent data to explore knowledge behind the data can greatly facilitate superior, informed decisions to ensue the facts. Nature has always inspired researchers to develop models of ...
