Two modified versions of artificial bee colony algorithm

摘要

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the most recently introduced swarm-based algorithms used in optimization problems. ABC simulates the intelligent foraging behavior of a honeybee swarm. In this paper, two aspects of ABC algorithm are modified and new configurations are used. The modified versions are tested on some well-known benchmark functions. Results show that the new changes have positive effects on the performance of ABC algorithm.
