Abstract

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the most popular swarm intelligence based algorithms. 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 works aims to model the behaviour of foragers of artificial bee colony more accurately and improve the performance of ABC algorithm in terms of local search ability. Therefore, a new definition is introduced for the onlookers of ABC. The new ABC is tested on a set of benchmark problems. © 2012 IEEE.
