The main focus of this research is to develop improved version of spiral dynamic algorithm (SDA) and srtificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) for solving various kinds of optimization problems.There are eight new algorithms developed in this research based on ABC and SDA.The first modification is on the initial distributions based on chaotic maps trajectory, random and opposition based learning.This adaptive initial distribution is used in all proposed algorithms.Second modification is to use spiral radius and chaotic rotational angle in modified SDA.Furher modifications include proposition of three adaptive ABC algorithms based on the modification of step size using exponential, linear and combination of both linear and exponential functions.Investigations have shown that SDA is a fast and simple All praise to Allah S.W.T, All mighty god.There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.Thank you for giving me strength, ideas and good health.With His will, I have managed to complete my thesis and end my PHD journey successfully.
