Bacterial foraging optimization and tabu search: performance issues and cooperative algorithms
Nuapett Sarasiri, Sarawut Sujitjorn · International Conference on Systems · 2010
This article presents comparison studies of the search performances between the adaptive bacterial foraging optimization (ABFO), the adaptive tabu search (ATS) and the cooperative algorithms thereof. Assessment scenario adopts some 3D surface optimization problems, one of which contains many global solutions. The computing results are elaborated, and indicate the superiority of the cooperative BF-TS algorithms. The article also presents an application of the proposed algorithms to the control of a hard disk head-stack.
