Implementation of Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

Evolutionary algorithm is a stochastic search method that mimics the natural biological evolution and the social behavior of species. Artificial bee colony algorithm is also a kind of evolutionary algorithm which was proposed by Dervis karaboga in 2005.Such algorithms have been developed to arrive at near-optimum solutions of multimodal optimization problems, which may not be possible with traditional algorithms. This paper describes implementation of ABC algorithm on complex benchmark functions like rastrigin, rosenbrock; sphere and schwefel the analysis of the performance of ABC algorithm were compared for the optimization of above benchmark functions with Partical Swarm Optimization (PSO). The ABC algorithm was successfully implemented in software tool ‘c’.
