In this paper we present a modification of artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm for constrained optimization problems. In nature more than one onlooker bee goes to a promising food source reported by employed bee. Our proposed modification forms a mutant solution in onlooker phase using three onlookers. This approach obtains better results than the original artificial bee colony algorithm. Our...

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm inspired by the intelligent behavior of honey bees when searching for food sources.

Grid computing is a new computing model; it’s performing bulk operations among the connected network. Since it is possible to run multiple applications simultaneously may require multiple resources but often do not have the resources that time scheduling system is essential for allocating resources. Scheduling algorithms must be designed for Maximize utilization of the resources and minimize th...

In data mining, Association rule mining is one of the popular and simple method to find the frequent item sets from a large dataset. While generating frequent item sets from a large dataset using association rule mining, computer takes too much time. This can be improved by using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC). The Artificial bee colony algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the...
