A modified artificial bee colony algorithm based on converge-onlookers approach for global optimization

作者：

Highlights：

• The nectar amounts-based approach used in ABC algorithm is not very efficient.

• The distribution mechanism for onlookers is modified.

• The converge-onlookers technique is presented to search for the candidates.

• Employed bees’ updating not only once improves the performance of algorithm.
