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 ...

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...

The job shop scheduling problem (JSSP) is an NP-hard problem of wide engineering and theoretical background. In this paper, a discrete artificial bee colony based memetic algorithm, named DABC, is proposed for solving JSSP. Firstly, to make artificial bee colony (ABC) suitable for solving JSSP, we present a food source as a discrete job permutation and use the discrete operation to generate a n...

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm recently gained high popularity by providing a robust and efficient approach for solving continuous optimization problems. In order to apply ABC in discrete landscape, a binary version of artificial bee colony (BABC) algorithm is proposed in this manuscript. Unlike the original ABC algorithm, the proposed BABC represents a food source as a discrete bina...

Received Oct 14,2012 Revised Jan 05, 2013 Accepted March 02,2013 In practical cases, the fuel cost of generators can be represented as a quadratic function of real power generation and satisfied constraints for minimizing of fuel cost. Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is used for the optimization of active power dispatch of generating units. The proposed method is able to determine, the ou...

The well-known artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the most recently introduced swarm-based algorithms. The ABC system combines both local and global search methods in an attempt to balance exploration and exploitation processes, and hopefully, it can be successfully applied to solve real-world problems. In the past, the Science Magazine named the protein folding problem (PFP) as on...
