data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. in this paper, we formulated d...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarm. The ABC algorithm was developed to solve optimizing numerical problems and revealed premising results in processing time and solution quality. In ABC, a colony of artificial bees search for rich artificial food sources; the optimizing numerical problems are converted to the p...

Software test suite optimization is one of the most important issue in software testing as testing consumes a lot of time in executing redundant test cases. In this paper, we have proposed and implemented a new approach for test suite optimization, namely, Mutated Artificial Bee Colony. Artificial Bee colony algorithm combines local search carried out by employed and onlooker bees with global s...

Artificial bee colony (ABC) is a relatively new swarm intelligence based metaheuristic. It was successfully applied to various, mostly continuous, optimization problems. For all such heuristically guided search algorithms balance between exploitation and exploration is the determining factor for success. It is generally considered that in the ABC algorithm exploitation is performed by employed ...

An enhanced Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization algorithm, which is called the Interactive Artificial Bee Colony (IABC) optimization, for numerical optimization problems, is proposed in this paper. The onlooker bee is designed to move straightly to the picked coordinate indicated by the employed bee and evaluates the fitness values near it in the original Artificial Bee Colony algorithm in...

Swarm intelligence is a research branch that models the population of interacting agents or swarms that are able to self-organize. An ant colony, a flock of birds or an immune system is a typical example of a swarm system. Bees’ swarming around their hive is another example of swarm intelligence. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavio...

Artificial Bee colony is one of the most efficient optimizing technique introduced so far. Artificial Bee Colony simulates the brilliant behavior honey bee swarm. Considering the environmental impacts that grow from the emission produced by the conventional fuel power plants, the economic dispatch that minimizes only the total fuel cost can no longer be considered as single objective function. ...

This paper presents an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm adjusted for the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The vehicle routing problem is an NP-hard problem and capacitated vehicle routing problem variant (CVRP) is considered here. The artificial bee metaheuristic was successfully used mostly on continuous unconstrained and constrained problems. Here this algorithm has been implemented ...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a swarm optimization technique. This algorithm generally used to solve nonlinear and complex problems. ABC is one of the simplest and up to date population based probabilistic strategy for global optimization. Analogous to other population based algorithms, ABC also has some drawbacks computationally pricey due to its sluggish temperament of search procedure. The ...
