Suppose A, B, C, D, E, F are points and L is a line other than the line at infinity. This work examines cases in which a translation D′E′F ′ of DEF in the direction of L is perspective to ABC, in the sense that the lines AD′, BE′, CF ′ concur.

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a recently introduced swarm intelligence algorithm for optimization, that has previously been applied successfully to the training of neural networks. This paper explores more carefully the performance of the ABC algorithm for optimizing the connection weights of feed-forward neural networks for classification tasks, and presents a more rigorous comparison wit...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a biological edge detection approach for aircraft such as unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV), with the objective of making the UCAV recognize targets, especially in complex noisy environment. Design/methodology/approach – The hybrid model of saliency-based visual attention and artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is established for edge detecti...

Article Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recently introduced algorithms based on the intelligent foraging behavior of a honey bee swarm. This paper proposes a new variant of the ABC algorithm based on Von Neumann topology structure, namely Von Neumann Neighborhood Article Bee Colony (VABC). VABC significantly improves the original ABC in solving complex optimization problems. Clustering is a...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a Nature Inspired Algorithm (NIA) which based on intelligent food foraging behaviour of honey bee swarm. This paper introduces a local search strategy that enhances exploration competence of ABC and avoids the problem of stagnation. The proposed strategy introduces two new local search phases in original ABC. One just after onlooker bee phase and one aft...

abc is a simple, yet powerful, textual musical notation. This paper presents abc::dt, a rule-based domain-specific language (Perl embedded), designed to simplify the creation of abc processing tools. Inspired by the Unix philosophy, those tools intend to be simple and compositional in a Unix filters’ way. From abc::dt’s rules we obtain an abc processing tool whose main algorithm follows a tradi...

The natural behaviour of the honeybee has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years and several algorithms have been developed that mimic swarm behaviour to solve optimisation problems. This paper introduces an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW). A Modified ABC algorithm is proposed to improve the solution quality of the ...

Software defects are problems in software that destroy normal operation ability and reflect the quality of software. fault can be predicted by reliability model. In this paper, hybrid algorithm is applied to parameter estimation defect prediction. As a biological heuristic algorithm, BAS (Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm) has fast convergence speed easy implement. ABC (Artificial Bee Colony bet...

Today many fields like engineering, management, and economy faces many optimization problems which are needed to be solved by meta-heuristics techniques. The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a population-based stochastic swarm intelligence algorithm finds applications in most of the fields. The problem with ABC is its slow convergence speed due to the poor exploitation capability and fa...
