Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavior of honey bee swarm. This paper presents Bee Swarm Optimization intended to introduce chaotic sequences and psychology factor of emotion into the algorithm. We define two emotions Bees could have, positive and negative, and correspond to two reaction to perception respectively. For avoiding premature c...

This paper is based on swarm intelligence and chaotic dynamics for learning. We address this issue by considering the problem of path planning for mobile robots. Autonomous systems assume intelligent behavior with ability of dealing in complex and changing environments. Path planning problem, which can be studied as an optimization problem, seems to be of high importance for arising of intellig...

Determination of optimum location for drilling a new well not only requires engineering judgments but also consumes excessive computational time. Additionally, availability of many physical constraints such as the well length, trajectory, and completion type and the numerous affecting parameters including, well type, well numbers, well-control variables prompt that the optimization approaches b...

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...

Designing the fuzzy controllers by using evolutionary algorithms and reinforcement learning is an important subject to control the robots. In the present article, some methods to solve reinforcement fuzzy control problems are studied. All these methods have been established by combining Fuzzy-Q Learning with an optimization algorithm. These algorithms include the Ant colony, Bee Colony and Arti...

Swarm Intelligence is the part of Artificial Intelligence based on study of actions of individuals in various decentralized systems. The Bee Colony Optimization (BCO) metaheuristic has been introduced fairly recently as a new direction in the field of Swarm Intelligence. Artificial bees represent agents, which collaboratively solve complex combinatorial optimization problem. The chapter present...

although lot streaming scheduling is an active research field, lot streaming flexible flow lines problems have received far less attention than classical flow shops. this paper deals with scheduling jobs in lot streaming flexible flow line problems. the paper mathematically formulates the problem by a mixed integer linear programming model. this model solves small instances to optimality. moreo...

In this work, performance of the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm which is a recently proposed algorithm, has been tested on fuzzy clustering. We applied the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm fuzzy clustering to classify different data sets; Cancer, Diabetes and Heart from UCI database, a collection of classification benchmark problems. The results indicate that the performance of Artificial...

Investment decision making is one of the key issues in financial management. Selecting the appropriate tools and techniques that can make optimal portfolio is one of the main objectives of the investment world. This study tries to optimize the decision making in stock selection or the optimization of the portfolio by means of the artificial colony of honey bee algorithm. To determine the effect...
