Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Optimization Algorithm for Solving Constrained Optimization

Abstract. This paper presents the comparison results on the perfor-mance of the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for constrained op-timization problems. The ABC algorithm has been firstly proposed for unconstrained optimization problems and showed that it has superior performance on these kind of problems. In this paper, the ABC algo-rithm has been extended for solving constrained optimization problems and applied to a set of constrained problems.
