Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is one of the most recent swarm intelligence-based algorithms simulate the foraging behavior of honey bees in their hive. ABC starts with a colony of artificial bees with sole aim of discovering the place of food sources with high nectar amount using the solution search equation in the employed bee and onlooker bee operators. However, the solution search equation is good in exploration and poor in exploitation. In this paper, the solution search equation of the onlooker bee is modified by using a value of the fittest food sources selected by a set of selection schemes inspired from the evolutionary algorithms. This is to guide the search process of onlooker bee toward the fittest food sources from the population in order to empower the exploitation capability and convergence. Four selection schemes are incorporated with the ABC algorithm to choose the fittest food sources in four versions as follows: global-best, tournament, linear rank, and exponential rank. For evaluation purposes, 10 classical benchmark optimization functions are used to study the sensitivity analysis of each ABC algorithm to its parameters. The performance of the proposed ABC versions is compared with the original ABC version in order to study the effectiveness of the modifications. In addition, a comparative evaluation of ABC algorithms is carried out against the state-of-the-art methods that worked on CEC2005 benchmark functions, CEC2015 benchmark functions, and two real-world cases of economic load dispatch problem. The experimental results show that the selection schemes incorporated within the search equation of the onlooker bee directly affects the performance of ABC algorithm. |
