This paper presents a modified Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for constrained problems. Original Karaboga's ABC algorithm was for unconstrained problems only and modifications for constrained problems were introduced later. The performance of this modified algorithm was examined by Karaboga. We introduced additional modification since the ABC algorithm does not consider the initial population to be feasible. We added a smart bee (SB) which uses its historical memories for the location and quality of food sources. This modified SB algorithm was tested on standard benchmark functions for unconstrained optimization problems and proved to be better.
