If you are interested in a detailed analysis of the algorithm, and the properties of its search strategy, please refer to this paper [1] : Luca Baronti, Marco Castellani, and Duc Truong Pham. The algorithm starts with the ns scout bees being placed randomly in the search space and the main algorithm steps can be summarised as follows: Evaluate the fitness of the population according the objective function; Select the best nb sites for neighbourhood local search; Recruit nrb forager bees for the selected sites nre bees for the best ne sites and evaluate their fitnesses; Select the fittest bee from each local site as the new site centre; If a site fails to improve in a single local search, its neighbourhood size is reduced neighbourhood shrinking ; If a site fails to improve for stlim cycles, the site is abandoned site abandonment ; Assign the remaining bees to search uniformly the whole search space and evaluate their fitnesses; If the stopping criterion is not met, return to step 2; Usage This repository offers two kinds of libraries.
To perform the optimisation is possible to do it iteratively calling: alg. Alternatively it's possible to perform the search all at once with: alg. Parallel Versions The parallel version exposes the data structures and functions to run the Bees Algorithm in parallel on two different levels: At the testing level, where a certain number of instances of the iterative Bees Algorithm are run in parallel on the same objective function; At the algorithm level, where a single instance of a parallel version of the Bees Algorithm is run on a certain objective function; Despite using a prallel version of the algorithm in a parallel may looks like a good idea, the eccessive prolification of processes that will result would most likely impact negatively on the performance.
Parallel Version: Testing Level Being a sthocastic algorithm, the final result of the Bees Algorithm is not deterministic. Parallel Version: Algorithm Level Some characteristics of the Bees Algorithm pose serious limitation on the design of an effective parallel version.
For instance, at each iteration the algorithm must know: which nb sites are the best ones, to promote them to elite sites and give them more foragers; which nb sites need to be replaced by better solutions found in the global search ns ; how many local searches have been done so far, and what's the best solution, to assess the stop criteria; To assess all these information, the parallel searches must stop-and-report to a central controller, reducing the parallelism performances greately.
Parallel Version: Algorithm Level - Partial In this version, the Bees Algorithm works in parallel only in performing a single local search for all the sites. Parallel Version: Algorithm Level - Full In this version, nb sites perform separate searches in a higher degree of parallelism.
Step-by-step Visualisation A function that plot a visual rapresentation of the Bees Algorithm steps is included in this package. It must be defined for 2 dimensions. Since the target function must be defined in 2 dimensions, the lists must contain two values each. If set at true, only one site is showed. This parameter is meant to be used only if the user implemented a custom subclass of the BeesAlgorithm and intend to visually assess the effect of the new implementation.
This parameter can be ignored in most cases. Versions History v1. Project details Project links Homepage Download. Download files Download the file for your platform.

Following a description of the algorithm, the paper gives the results obtained for a number of benchmark problems demonstrating the efficiency and robustness of the new algorithm. Introduction 2. This optimal solution.
A key difference between SOAs generates much interest in search algorithms that and direct search algorithms such as hill climbing find near-optimal solutions in reasonable running and random walk is that SOAs use a population of times. The swarm-based algorithm described in this solutions for every iteration instead of a single paper is a search algorithm capable of locating good solution.
As a population of solutions is processed in solutions efficiently. The algorithm is inspired by the an iteration, the outcome of each iteration is also a food foraging behaviour of honey bees and could be population of solutions. Section 2 reviews related work in the area of However, if an optimisation problem has multiple intelligent optimisation. Section 3 describes the optimal solutions, an SOA can be used to capture foraging behaviour of natural bees and the core ideas them in its final population.
These show that the Common to all population-based search methods algorithm can reliably handle complex multi-model is a strategy that generates variations of the solution optimisation problems without being trapped at local being sought. Some search methods use a greedy solutions.
A colony prospers by problem is one of optimisation. A very successful deploying its foragers to good fields. In principle, non-greedy population-based algorithm is the ACO flower patches with plentiful amounts of nectar or algorithm which emulates the behaviour of real ants.
The The foraging process begins in a colony by scout pheromone is deposited on the ground as the ants bees being sent to search for promising flower move and the probability that a passing stray ant will patches. Scout bees move randomly from one patch follow this trail depends on the quantity of to another.
During the harvesting season, a colony pheromone laid. ACO was first used for functional continues its exploration, keeping a percentage of the optimisation by Bilchev [5] and further attempts population as scout bees [8]. When they return to the hive, those scout bees The Genetic Algorithm is based on natural that found a patch which is rated above a certain selection and genetic recombination.
The algorithm efficiently exploits This mysterious dance is essential for colony historical information to speculate on new search communication, and contains three pieces of areas with improved performance [3]. When applied information regarding a flower patch: the direction in to optimisation problems, the GA has the advantage which it will be found, its distance from the hive and of performing global search.
The GA may be its quality rating or fitness [7,10]. This information helps the colony to send its bees to flower patches hybridised with domain-dependent heuristics for precisely, without using guides or maps. Each improved results. This dance for continuous function optimisation. After waggle dancing on the dance of birds or the schooling of fish [4]. Individual floor, the dancer i. Each inside the hive. More follower bees are sent to more particle modifies its position in search space promising patches.
This allows the colony to gather according to its own experience and also that of a food quickly and efficiently. This is necessary to decide upon the combining local and global search methods [4]. There are other SOAs with names suggestive of If the patch is still good enough as a food source, possibly bee-inspired operations [].
However, as then it will be advertised in the waggle dance and far as the authors are aware, those algorithms do not more bees will be recruited to that source. In particular, they do not seem to implement the techniques that 3. Proposed Bees Algorithm bees employ when foraging for food. As mentioned , the Bees Algorithm is an 3.
