The idea behind this work is to solve the Shortest Common Supersequence by using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm. This algorithm is considered as one of the newest nature-inspired swarm-based optimization algorithms and has a promising performance [6]. Shortest Common Supersequence is a classical problem in the field of strings and it is classified as NP-Hard problem [12]. Many algorithms...

Software testing is a key of guaranteeing software quality and reliability. For testing software performance we have to need testing data or test case. So generation of test cases is one of the key steps for software testing. In generation of suitable test cases for a software/program, nature inspired algorithms play an important role. We studied several nature inspired algorithms but in this p...

One of the powerful optimization tools that has been exploited in the computer world are nature inspired algorithms (NIAs), they are also used to solve problems in the computer programming world. For many years new algorithms have been developed regarding computer science and engineering communities such algorithms concentrates on NIAs which has proven their capabilities in many aspect, in some...

For the last few decades, optimization has been developing at a fast rate. Bio-inspired optimization algorithms are metaheuristics inspired by nature. These algorithms have been applied to solve different problems in engineering, economics, and other domains. Bio-inspired algorithms have also been applied in different branches of information technology such as networking and software engineerin...

Nature-inspired algorithms are recently being appreciated for solving complex optimization and engineering problems. Black hole algorithm is one of the recent nature-inspired algorithms that have obtained inspiration from black hole theory of universe. In this paper, four formulations of multi-objective black hole algorithm have been developed by using combination of weighted objectives, use of...
