Swarm intelligence systems are typically made up of a population of simple agents or boids interacting locally with one another and with their environment. Particle swarm, Ant colony, Bee colony are examples of swarm intelligence. In the field of computer science and operations research, Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent foraging behavio...

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent food foraging behavior of honey bees. The proposed variant, Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm with Balanced Explorations and Exploitations ...

Image template matching refers to the technique of locating a given reference image over a source image such that they are the most similar. It is a fundamental mission in the field of visual target recognition. In general, there are two critical aspects of a template matching scheme. One is similarity measurement and the other is best-match location search. In this work, we choose the well-kno...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a distinguished optimization strategy that can resolve nonlinear and multifaceted problems. It is comparatively a straightforward and modern population based probabilistic approach for comprehensive optimization. In the vein of the other population based algorithms, ABC is moreover computationally classy due to its slow nature of search procedure. The solution exp...

This paper is to seek effective scheme of boiler efficiency optimization, it uses Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to optimize boiler efficiency based on the model of boiler combustion efficiency. First, an optimization model of boiler efficiency, which takes boiler efficiency function as optimization objective, is set up according to the heat loss of boiler combustion. Moreover, the opera...

This paper presents an extensive study on the application of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for load frequency control (LFC) in multi-area power system with multiple interconnected generators. The LFC model incorporates various possible physical constraints and non-linearities such as generation rate constraint, time delay, dead zone and boiler. The ABC algorithm is used to find the opti...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: EEG/ERP Adaptive filter SNR LMS RLS ABC In this paper, the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is applied to construct Adaptive Noise Canceller (ANC) for electroencephalogram (EEG)/Event Related Potential (ERP) filtering with modified range selection, described as Bounded Range ABC (BR-ABC). ERP generated due to hand movement is filtered through...

This study proposes a novel binary version of the artificial bee colony algorithm based on genetic operators (GB-ABC) such as crossover and swap to solve binary optimization problems. Integrated to the neighbourhood searching mechanism of the basic ABC algorithm, the modification comprises four stages: (1) In neighbourhood of a (current) food source, randomly select two food sources from popula...
