This study implemented the artificialbeecolony (ABC) metaheuristic algorithm to optimize the artificial Neural Network (ANN) values for improving the accuracy of model and evaluate the developed model. Compressive strength of RCC was investigated using mix design materials in three forms, namely volumetric weight input (cement, water, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and binder), value ratio (water to cement ratio, water to binder ratio, and coarse aggregate to fine aggregate ratio), as well as the percentage of mix design values of different ages. A comprehensive, proper-range dataset containing 333 mix designs was collected from various papers. The accuracy of the research models was investigated using error indices, namely correlation coefficient, root-mean-square-error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and developed hybrid models were compared. External validation and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS)-based uncertainty analysis was also used to validate the models and their results were reported. The experimental stage of the prediction of compressive strength values showed significant accuracy of the ANN-ABC model with (MAE=11.49, RMSE=0.920, RME=5.21) compared to other models in this study. Besides, the sensitivity analysis of predictor variables in this study revealed that the variables "specimen age," "binder," and "fine aggregate" were more effective and important in this research. Comparison of the results showed that the improved proposed model using the ABC algorithm was more capable and more accurate in reducing the error rate in providing computational relations compared to the default models examined in the prediction of the compressive strength of RCC and also tried in simplifying computational relations.

The parameters of LCL filter directly affects the reactive power compensation performance of STATCOM. This paper takes the STATCOM with LCL filter as the research object. A Pareto multi-objective optimization algorithm based on artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC-Pareto algorithm) is proposed to choose some suitable LCL filter parameters. The multiple performance indicators of STATCOM are considered, such as the dynamic response speed, the attenuation capability of high-order harmonic current and the loss of fundamental frequency reactive compensation current. Based on these performance indicators simultaneously, ABC-Pareto algorithm is utilized to choose some more suitable LCL filter parameters by iterative calculation. Parameters obtained by optimization algorithm will improve the reactive compensation performance of STATCOM. The results of 20kVar STATCOM simulation model can verify the superiority and effectiveness of the optimized parameters by ABC-Pareto algorithm.

Taking the actual assembly job shop as an example, this paper comprehensively considers the resource constraints of the assembly job shop, the capacity of distribution vehicle and the capacity constraints of the station temporary storage area. A mathematical model was constructed with the optimization goal of minimizing the inventory of the temporary storage area and the total transportation energy consumption without allowing the shortage of parts. Based on the idea of chaotic mapping and reverse learning, the food source coding and initialization were redesigned, and a modified discrete artificial bee colony algorithm was constructed to make joint decision on part supply time and delivery quantity. Finally, simulation analysis was performed to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the algorithm and model.

Given a connected, weighted, and undirected graph, the minimum routing cost spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree of minimum routing cost on this graph, where routing cost of a spanning tree is defined as the sum of the costs of the paths connecting all possible pairs of distinct vertices in that spanning tree. This problem has several important applications in networks design and computational biology. In this paper, we have proposed an artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithm-based approach for this problem. We have compared our approach against four best methods reported in the literature-two genetic algorithms, a stochastic hill climber and a perturbation-based local search. Computational results show the superiority of our ABC approach over other approaches.

This paper proposed a penalty guided artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) to solve the reliability redundancy allocation problem (RAP). The redundancy allocation problem involves setting reliability objectives for components or subsystems in order to meet the resource consumption constraint, e.g. the total cost. RAP has been an active area of research for the past four decades. The difficulty that one is confronted with the RAP is the maintenance of feasibility with respect to three nonlinear constraints, namely, cost, weight and volume related constraints. In this paper nonlinearly mixed-integer reliability design problems are investigated where both the number of redundancy components and the corresponding component reliability in each subsystem are to be decided simultaneously so as to maximize the reliability of the system. The reliability design problems have been studied in the literature for decades, usually using mathematical programming or heuristic optimization approaches. To the best of our knowledge the ABC algorithm can search over promising feasible and infeasible regions to find the feasible optimal/near-optimal solution effectively and efficiently;numerical examples indicate that the proposed approach performs well with the reliability redundant allocation design problems considered in this paper and computational results compare favorably with previously-developed algorithms in the literature.

During recent years, risk analysis has been introduced into infrastructure engineering, and has greatly improved the design, construction, and operation. In this paper, we study the risk of dams in the perspective of clustering analysis. Fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) is widely used in many fields since it is simple and fast. However the result of FCM technique is sensitive to the initialization of clustering centres and is easily trapped into local optima. To improve the performance of FCM, an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) with FCM is proposed. By introducing ABC, the shortcomings of the original FCM method is overcome. The proposed clustering algorithm is demonstrated on a benchmark classification problem and two dam risk analysis problems. Results show that it is more accurate and robust than FCM, and it is an efficient tool for risk analysis of dams.

A Rosenbrock artificial bee colony algorithm (RABC) that combines Rosenbrock's rotational direction method with an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) is proposed for accurate numerical optimization. There are two alternative phases of RABC: the exploration phase realized by ABC and the exploitation phase completed by the rotational direction method. The proposed algorithm was tested on a comprehensive set of complex benchmark problems, encompassing a wide range of dimensionality, and it was also compared with several algorithms. Numerical results show that the new algorithm is promising in terms of convergence speed, success rate, and accuracy. The proposed RABC is also capable of keeping up with the direction changes in the problems. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a novel and simple expression for resonant length to calculate the resonant frequency of C-shaped compact microstrip antennas operating on UHF band applications. C-shaped compact microstrip antennas with different physical dimensions and electrical parameters were simulated by means of a software package that employs the method of finite difference time domain. With the aid of the artificial bee colony algorithm, an expression for the resonant length depending on physical dimensions was constructed by using simulation data. The resonant length expression provided less than 1.6% error on average over the simulated 144 antennas. A comparison between the results obtained in this work and previous results presented in the literature is given to show the accuracy of the proposed expression.
