Aiping Ning · Computer Engineering and Applications Journal · 2011
This paper proposes a parallel hybrid optimization algorithm of ABC-PSO by combining Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) algorithm and Artificial Bee Colony(ABC) algorithm.In each iteration,the swarm is divided into two sub-groups,one sub-group evolves using PSO algorithm,the other sub-group evolves using ABC algorithm and then the two algorithms are compared after selecting the best fitness value.Through comparing the hybrid algorithm with the standard PSO algorithm in evolving solution to four standard functions,the results show that the ABC-PSO hybrid algorithm has a better optimization performance.
