The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is one of most popular stochastic, swarm based algorithm proposed by Karaboga in 2005 inspired from the foraging behaviour of honey bees. ABC has been applied to solve several problems in various fields and also many researchers have attempted to improve ABC’s performance by making some modifications. This paper proposes a new variant of ABC algorithm b...

The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is inspired by the behavior of honey bees. The algorithm is one of the Swarm Intelligence algorithms explored in recent literature. ABC is an optimization technique, which is used in finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. However, ABC can sometimes be slow to converge. In order to improve the algorithm performance, we present a modified ...

Consider feature selection is the main in intelligent algorithms and machine learning to select subset of data help acquire optimal solution. Feature used an extract relevance discarding irrelevance with increment fast it reduce dimensional dataset. In past, traditional methods, but these methods are slow accuracy. modern times, however, uses Genetic algorithm swarm optimization Ant colony, Bee...

This paper presents the solution of environmental/ economic dispatch (EED) problem by using a multiobjective bees algorithm (MBA) with clustering technique. EED problem is to minimize simultaneously the total fuel cost and environmental pollution of generation while satisfying various constrains. The MBA is modified from Bees Algorithm in order to solve EED problem through compromised fuzzy and...

The hybrid metaheuristics algorithms (HMHAs) have gained a considerable attention for their capability to solve difficult problems in different fields of science. This chapter introduces some applications of HMHAs in solving inventory theory problems. Three basic inventory problems, joint replenishment EOQ problem, newsboy problem, and stochastic review problem, in certain and uncertain environ...

Classification of data in large repositories requires efficient techniques for analysis since a large amount of features is created for better representation of such images. Optimization methods can be used in the process of feature selection to determine the most relevant subset of features from the data set while maintaining adequate accuracy rate represented by the original set of features. ...

Many practical and complex problems in industry and business such as the routing problems, scheduling, networks design, telephone routing etc.,. are in the class of intractable combinatorial (discrete) or numerical (continuous or mixed) optimization problems. Many traditional methods were developed for solving continuous optimization problems, while discrete problems are being solved using heur...

so far various methods for optimization presented and one of most popular of them are optimization algorithms based on swarm intelligence and also one of most successful of them is particle swarm optimization (pso). prior some efforts by applying fuzzy logic for improving defects of pso such as trapping in local optimums and early convergence has been done. moreover to overcome the problem of i...
