چکیده

A new population-based search algorithm called the Bees Algorithm (BA) is presented in this paper. The algorithm mimics the food foraging behavior of swarms of honey bees. This algorithm performs a kind of neighborhood search combined with random search and can be used for both combinatorial optimization and functional optimization and with good numerical optimization results. ABC is a meta-heuristic optimization technique inspired by the intelligent foraging behavior of honeybee swarms. This paper demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of the ABC algorithm to solve MDVRP (Multiple depot vehicle routing problems). KeywordsSwarm intelligence, ant colony optimization, Genetic Algorithm, Particle Swarm optimization, Artificial Bee Colony optimization.
