Plenary
Lecture
Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm Exploitation and Exploration Balance
Professor Milan Tuba
Professor Milan Tuba
University Megatrend Belgrade
Faculty of Computer Science
Serbia
E-mail: tuba@ieee.org
Abstract: Many heuristic algorithms were developed to find suboptimal
solutions to hard optimization problems. Algorithms based on swarm intelligence
represent an important branch of such metaheuristics. Artificial bee colony
optimization algorithm is a recent addition to swarm intelligence algorithms
that was successfully used on many different hard optimization problems,
especially constrained optimization problems. All nature inspired algorithms
simulate various natural phenomena. In the case of honey bees the algorithm
mimics food foraging of bees with employed bees, onlooker bees and scout bees.
In essence, all these diverse mimicking tries to accomplish two things: to
exploit good found solutions (exploitation), but also go to unknown places
(exploration) in order to avoid being trapped in local minima. The
successfulness of any such nature inspired algorithm is determined by proper
balance between exploitation and exploration. This balance is maintained by
adjusting certain parameters and also by applying some rules in certain
situations.
In general, employed bees and onlookers in the ABC algorithm perform
exploitation while scout bees perform exploration. However, better results are
achieved by fine tuning of the algorithm that introduces some exploration into
exploitation phase and vice versa. This plenary lecture will demonstrate few
successful examples of such exploitation/exploration balance adjustments for the
artificial bee colony algorithm applied to constrained optimization problems.
Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Milan Tuba received B. S. in Mathematics, M. S. in Mathematics, M. S. in
Computer Science, M. Ph. in Computer Science, Ph. D. in Computer Science from
University of Belgrade and New York University. From 1983 to 1994 he was in the
U.S.A. first as a graduate student and teaching and research assistant at
Vanderbilt University in Nashville and Courant Institute of Mathematical
Sciences, New York University and later as an Assistant Professor of Electrical
Engineering at Cooper Union Graduate School of Engineering, New York. During
that time he was the founder and director of Microprocessor Lab and VLSI Lab,
leader of scientific projects and supervisor of many theses. From 1994 he was
Assistant professor of Computer Science and Director of Computer Center at
University of Belgrade, from 2001 Associate Professor, Faculty of Mathematics,
and from 2004 also a Professor of Computer Science and Dean of the College of
Computer Science, Megatrend University Belgrade. He was teaching more than 20
graduate and undergraduate courses, from VLSI Design and Computer Architecture
to Computer Networks, Operating Systems, Image Processing, Calculus and Queuing
Theory. His research interest includes mathematical, queuing theory and
heuristic optimizations applied to computer networks, image processing and
combinatorial problems. He is the author of more than 130 scientific papers and
a monograph. He is coeditor or member of the editorial board or scientific
committee of number of scientific journals and conferences. Member of the ACM
since 1983, IEEE 1984, New York Academy of Sciences 1987, AMS 1995, SIAM 2009
