A unified frame of swarm intelligence optimization algorithm

Abstract

Swarm intelligence optimization algorithm is a heuristic search algorithm based on the swarm intelligent behavior of biology, which shows excellent performance in deal with complex optimization problems. On the basis of analyzing particle swarm optimization algorithm, ant colony algorithm and artificial bee colony algorithm, the paper presents a unified frame of swarm intelligence optimization algorithm that is helpful for improving and perfecting swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.
