Remote sensing (RS) image processing can be converted to an optimization problem, which can then be solved by swarm intelligence algorithms, such as the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, to improve the accuracy of the results. However, such optimization algorithms often result in a heavy computational burden. To realize the intrinsic parallel computing ability of ABC to address the computational challenges of RS optimization, an improved multiagent (MA)-based ABC framework with a reduced communication cost among agents is proposed by utilizing MA technology. Two types of agents, massive bee agents and one administration agent, located in multiple computing nodes are designed. Based on the communication and cooperation among agents, RS optimization computing is realized in a distributed and concurrent manner. Using hyperspectral RS clustering and endmember extraction as case studies, experimental results indicate that the proposed MA-based ABC approach can effectively improve the computing efficiency while maintaining optimization accuracy.

Artificial bee colony (ABC) is one of the newest additions to the class of swarm intelligence. ABC algorithm has been shown to be competitive with some other population-based algorithms. However, there is still an insufficiency that ABC is good at exploration but poor at exploitation. To make a proper balance between these two conflictive factors, this paper proposed a novel ABC variant with a time-varying strategy where the ratio between the number of employed bees and the number of onlooker bees varies with time. The linear and nonlinear time-varying strategies can be incorporated into the basic ABC algorithm, yielding ABC-LTVS and ABC-NTVS algorithms, respectively. The effects of the added parameters in the two new ABC algorithms are also studied through solving some representative benchmark functions. The proposed ABC algorithm is a simple and easy modification to the structure of the basic ABC algorithm. Moreover, the proposed approach is general and can be incorporated in other ABC variants. A set of 21 benchmark functions in 30 and 50 dimensions are utilized in the experimental studies. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed time-varying strategy.

This paper use artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC) to solve dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem in wind power integrated system for generating units with value-point effect and system-related constrains. The feasibility of the proposed method is validated with ten-unit-test systems for a period of 6 and 24 hours respectively. The effectiveness and feasibility of the artificial bee colony algorithm are demonstrated by comparing its performance with improved particle swarm optimization. Numerical results show that the ABC algorithm can provide accurate dispatch solutions within reasonable time for certain type of fuel cost functions.

In order to ensure “a river of clear water is supplied to Beijing and Tianjin” and improve the water quality prediction accuracy of the Danjiang water source, while avoiding the local optimum and premature maturity of the artificial bee colony algorithm, an improved artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC algorithm) is proposed to optimize the Danjiang water quality prediction model of BP neural network is proposed. This method improves the local and global search capabilities of the ABC algorithm by adding adaptive local search factors and mutation factors, improves the performance of local search, and avoids local optimal conditions. The improved ABC algorithm is used to optimize the weights and thresholds of the BP neural network to establish a water quality grade prediction model. Taking the water quality monitoring data of Danjiang source (Shangzhou section) from 2015 to 2019 as the research object, it is compared with GA-BP, PSO-BP, ABC-BP, and BP models. The research results show that the improved ABC-BP algorithm has the highest prediction accuracy, faster convergence speed, stronger stability, and robustness.

The N-puzzle problem is one of the most classical problems in mathematics. Since the number of states in the N-puzzle is equal to the factorial of the number of tiles, traditional algorithms can only provide solutions for small-scale ones, such as 8-puzzle. Various uninformed and informed search algorithms have been applied to solve the N-puzzle, and their performances have been evaluated. Apart from traditional methods, artificial intelligence algorithms are also used for solutions. This paper introduces a new approach based on a meta-heuristic algorithm with a solving of the 15-puzzle problem. Generally, only Manhattan distance is used as the heuristic function, while in this study, a linear conflict function is used to increase the effectiveness of the heuristic function. Besides, the puzzle was divided into subsets named pattern database, and solutions were obtained for the subsets separately with the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm. The proposed approach reveals that the ABC algorithm is very successful in solving the 15-puzzle problem.
