Order picking costs most of operating expenses in the warehouse management. Generally, order batching is effective in reducing the total travel distance of order picking. However, how to realize order batching is an NP-hard problem. It is difficult to find the optimal solution of order batching in polynomial time. Some deterministic methods are applied to small-scale order batching problems;while some heuristic algorithms are potential for large-scale order batching problems. Inspired by the behaviors of honey bee swarms, artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithms have been developed as potential computational approaches and performed well in scientific researches and engineering applications. To minimize the total travel distance of order picking, this paper proposes an effective batching method based on an artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC-BM). A series of numerical simulation experiments about order batching are arranged. Compared to GA-BM, the proposed ABC-BM algorithm is more efficient in optimizing different-scale order picking problems.

artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithm is one of the most recently introduced swarm intelligence based algorithm which foraging the behavior of honey bee colonies. In order to improve the convergence performance and searching speed of finding best solution, self adaptive hybrid ABC (SAHABC) is proposed in this paper. For evaluating the performance of standard ABC and proposed SAHABC algorithms, we implemented experiments on CEC 2013 real-parameter single objective optimization problems testbed. SAHABC algorithm demonstrated competitive performance on the optimization problems with the dimension size of 10, 30, and 50 respectively.

With regard to the improvement of image quality, image enhancement is an important process to assist human with better perception. This paper presents an automatic image enhancement method based on artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithm. In this method, ABC algorithm is applied to find the optimum parameters of a transformation function, which is used in the enhancement by utilizing the local and global information of the image. In order to solve the optimization problem by ABC algorithm, an objective criterion in terms of the entropy and edge information is introduced to measure the image quality to make the enhancement as an automatic process. Several images are utilized in experiments to make a comparison with other enhancement methods, which are genetic algorithm-based and particle swarm optimization algorithm-based image enhancement methods.

The management of used products attracts an increasing attention, which brings out the concept of Reverse Logistics. Reverse logistics is the reverse flow of surplus material back to the firm for reuse, repair, remanufacturing, recycling, and disposal of used products. In this research, we use the artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithm to solve the location and allocation problems of collection centers with the goal of minimizing total logistics costs. The performance of ABC algorithm is illustrated in our numerical experiments, which prove it is effective and efficient to handle the design of reverse logistics network. Our research provides useful insights of adopting of ABC algorithm for the optimization problems with multiple constrains.

This paper presents a discrete artificial bee colony algorithm (DABC) for solving the team orienteering problem with time windows (TOPTW). The proposed algorithm employs a destruction and construction procedure to generate neighboring food sources in the framework of the DABC algorithm. In addition, a variable neighborhood descent (VND) algorithm is developed to enhance the solution quality. The performance of the algorithm was tested on a benchmark set from the literature. Experimental results show that the proposed DABC algorithm is competitive to the best performing algorithms from the literature. Ultimately, 11 instances are further improved by the proposed DABC algorithm.

In this paper, we present our version of the MultiObjective artificial bee colony algorithm (a metaheuristic based on the foraging behavior of honey bees) to optimize the Location Areas Planning Problem. This bi-objective problem models one of the most important tasks in any Public Land Mobile Network: the mobile location management. In previous works of other authors, this management problem was simplified by using the linear aggregation of the objective functions. However, this technique has several drawbacks. That is the reason why we propose the use of multiobjective optimization. Furthermore, with the aim of studying a realistic mobile environment, we apply our algorithm to the mobile network developed by the Stanford University (a mobile network located in the San Francisco Bay, USA). Experimental results show that our proposal outperforms other algorithms published in the literature.

As a strong coupled nonlinear under-actuated system, the balance control of the circular-rail double inverted pendulum system is discussed in this paper. Firstly, the linear quadratic regulator is established based on the mathematical model of the plant which is linearized about the pendulum's upright equilibrium position. In order to obtain the optimal control performance, as well as to avoid repeated adjustment of LQR parameters, artificialbeecolony(ABC) algorithm as a new meta-heuristic approach inspired by intelligent foraging behavior of honeybee swarm is introduced for the parameters optimization of Q and R during LQR controller design. The simulation with the circular-rail double inverted pendulum is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the LQR control strategy as well as the ABC optimization algorithm.

In this paper, a novel automatic modulation recognition (AMR) method has been proposed for classifying of the transmitted signals by observing the received data samples in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath fading channel. The proposed method (ABC-ANN) is based on artificial neural network (ANN) which is trained by artificialbeecolony (ABC) algorithm. Because high order statistics are very interesting features to solve the problem of AMR, the high order cumulants have been employed in the proposed ABC-ANN classifier. ABC algorithm is used in finding the optimal weight set of artificial neural networks for classification and the performance of the proposed ABC-ANN algorithm is compared with the performance of ANN classifier (SCG-ANN) using scaled conjugate gradient learning algorithm. Computer simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed recognizer can reach much better classification accuracy than the SCG-ANN in even 0 dB of signal to noise ratio (SNR) value.

Image segmentation is still a crucial problem in image processing. In this paper, we proposed a novel multi-level image segmentation method based on PSNR using artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA). PSNR is considered as an objective function of ABCA. The best multi-level thresholds (t(1)*, t(2)*, ... , t(n-1)*, t(n)*) are those which can make the PSNR maximize. Further, we compare entropy and PSNR in segmenting gray-level images and noisy images. Through experiments, it is found that the entropy isn't suitable to be applied to segmentation of images with Gaussian noise. So we can conclude that entropy can't be used for noisy image segmentation. The experiments results demonstrate our proposed method is effective and efficient.

Facebook is currently one of the world's most popular social networking services, and has been widely used in the field of e-learning. In general, learners in e-learning environments need to evaluate their learning ability through taking tests to present the learning achievement. In order to evaluate their ability on e-learning platform with social network services, this study proposes an automatic question generation system for individual learning status. The proposed system uses the artificial bee colony algorithm to find suitable questions for each learner according to the learner's profile, reading experience, professional ability, and the e-learning records in the system. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method improves the accuracy of the automatic question generation system and that it outperforms the random method.
