Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarm. This paper presents Bee Swarm Optimization intended to introduce chaotic sequences and psychology factor of emotion into the algorithm. We define two emotions Bees could have, positive and negative, and correspond to two reaction to perception respectively. For avoiding premature c...

In this paper, the optimal location and tuning parameters of Static Var Compensator (SVC), Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) stabilizer with low pass filter and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) controllers using multi objective Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) to damp small signal oscillations in a multi machine power system has been implemented. Whereas, the performance ...

The Varroa mite has many deleterious impacts on honey bee colonies. These impacts are well known and include, for example, the weakness of honey bees by feeding on the haemolymph (Rosenkranz et al. 2010), transportation of viruses to host bees including Kashmir bee virus (Chen et al. 2004), suppresses the immunity of honey bees (Shen et al. 2005), impact bee wing Shape (Cakmak et al. 2011) and ...

During the history of science of computational, many evolutionary algorithms approaches were proposed having more or less success in solving various optimization problems. The algorithm is applied for numerical simulations based on optimized proportional integral derivative (PID) control of an automatic regulator voltage system for nominal system parameters and step reference voltage input illu...

pumps are among the early instruments invented by humans to be taken advantage of in the use of water utilities. design and operation problem of pumping stations is a type of mixed integer non linear programming, in which gradient based optimization methods are not efficient for solving complex problems of this type. in this regard, such evolutionary optimization algorithms as genetic algorithm...

Internet centers host services for e-banks, e-auctions and other clients. Hosting centers then must allocate servers among clients to maximize revenue. The limited number of servers, costs of reallocat-ing servers, and unpredictability of requests make server allocation optimization difficult. Based on the many similarities between server and honey bee colony forager allocation, we propose a ne...

Queens of the honey bee, Apis mellifera (L.), exhibit extreme polyandry, mating with up to 45 different males (drones). This increases the genetic diversity of their colonies, and consequently their fitness. After copulation, drones leave a mating sign in the genital opening of the queen which has been shown to promote additional mating of the queen. On one hand, this signing behavior is benefi...
