About My Research:

Summary of research:

  • Develop a generic framework based on the foraging behaviour of bees to solve combinatorial optimization problems such as TSP, ATSP, QAP and SOP
  • The framework has been tested on a set of TSP benchmark problems
  • Results shows that out of 84 problem instances, the BCO algorithm achieves <1% from known optimum for 78 problems
  • Expanding the framework to cater for different types of problems
  • Enriching the framework with more intelligent behaviours
