Area of Science:

  • Computational Intelligence
  • Optimization Algorithms
  • Metaheuristics

Background:

  • The original Bees Algorithm (BA) is a metaheuristic inspired by bee foraging behavior, widely used in continuous and combinatorial optimization.
  • BA requires careful tuning of six parameters, which can be time-consuming and challenging for users unfamiliar with the algorithm.
  • Parameter sensitivity can significantly impact performance, especially in complex optimization problems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce BA1, a novel variant of the Bees Algorithm with a single user-selected parameter.
  • To simplify the parameter tuning process and enhance the efficiency of the Bees Algorithm.
  • To evaluate the performance of BA1 against established optimization algorithms.

Main Methods:

  • BA1 eliminates parameters related to high-performing and elite bees, streamlining the original BA structure.
  • Employs incremental k-means clustering to dynamically group scout bees.
  • Tested on 23 continuous benchmark functions and 12 combinatorial problems from TSPLIB.

Main Results:

  • BA1 demonstrates competitive performance compared to popular nature-inspired optimization algorithms.
  • The simplified parameter set of BA1 leads to a more efficient and user-friendly tuning process.
  • Effective application across both continuous and combinatorial optimization domains.

Conclusions:

  • BA1 offers a significant improvement over the original Bees Algorithm by reducing parameter complexity.
  • The algorithm's efficiency and performance make it a viable alternative for various optimization challenges.
  • Further research can explore BA1's applicability to a wider range of complex optimization problems.
