In this paper, a Structure-Redesigned-Based Bacterial Foraging Optimization (SRBFO) proposed in the previous work is used to reduce the computational time. Then by transplanting information communication mechanism to SRBFO, we proposed several variants of SRBFO with different topology structures, which are called SRBFO-ST, SRBFO-FC, SRBFO-Ri, SRBFO-VN and SRBFO-DN, respectively. A series of experiments are conducted to test the performance of those proposed algorithms and the superiority of them have been demonstrated.
