A Hybrid Membrane Computing and Honey Bee Mating Algorithm as an Intelligent Algorithm for Channel Assignment Problem

Abstract

Membrane computing is a model of computation inspired by the structure and functioning of cells as living organisms. Membrane computing naturally has parallel structure. Also, it uses communication rules to exchange information between membranes. This paper first proposes Hybrid Honey Bee Mating (HHBM) then uses parallelism advantage of membrane to parallelize and divide the HHBM algorithm as an evolutionary algorithm to different membranes (parts). These membranes can be executed in parallel way on different cores or CPUs. Simulation shows that when number of membrane increases performance of this algorithm increases. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
