Description
Summary:ABC algorithm or also called Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm is one of the popular algorithms of using the intelligence of swarm bees. The ABC algorithm mimics foraging and dance behaviours of real bee colonies. It has high performance and success for numerical optimization problems. Although the exploration of solution of ABC algorithm is good, exploitation to found food sources is very bad. In this report the student analyses the ABC algorithm in detail, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the ABC algorithm compared to other programs and the ABC algorithm implemented in Matlab programming to solve real parameter optimization problems. The results and graphs are discussed and future recommendations are also advised on the project.
