With the significant growth of cyber environment over recent years, defensive mechanisms against adversaries have become an important step in maintaining online safety. The adaptive defense mechanism is evolving approach that, when combined with nature-inspired algorithms, allows users to effectively run a series artificial intelligence-driven tests on their customized networks detect normal an...

Abstract Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm was proposed by mimicking the cooperative foraging behaviors of bees. As a member swarm intelligence algorithms, ABC has some advantages in handling optimization problems. However, it exploration capacity over exploitation capacity, which may lead to slow convergence speed and lower solution accuracy. Hence, enhance performance algorithm, novel bas...

The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...

In this paper, we introduce a novel iterative method to finding the fixed point of a nonlinear function. Therefore, we combine ideas proposed in Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (Karaboga and Basturk, 2007) and Bisection method (Burden and Douglas, 1985). This method is new and very efficient for solving a ccepted 3 September 2014 vailable online 28 September 2014 eywords: isection method ixed p...
