Improved Bacterial Foraging Algorithms and Their Applications to Job Shop Scheduling Problems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 4431))

Abstract

Bacterial foraging algorithm is a novel evolutionary computation algorithm proposed four years ago, which is based on the foraging behavior ofE.coli bacteria living in human intestine. In this paper an improved operation, individual-based search, is presented with regard to the important component (Chemotaxi) of bacterial foraging algorithm. The improved algorithm is applied to job shop scheduling benchmark problems. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the improved algorithm.
