A literature survey on artificial swarm intelligence based optimization techniques

Abstract

From few decades' optimizations techniques plays a key role in engineering and technological field applications. They are known for their behaviour pattern for solving modern engineering problems. Among various optimization techniques, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms proved to be efficient. In this paper, an effort is made to address techniques that are commonly used in engineering applications. This paper presents a basic overview of such optimization algorithms namely Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Algorithm, Fire-fly Algorithm (FFA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is presented and also the most suitable fitness functions and its numerical expressions have discussed.
