Is this the same as Bees algorithm? Andreas Kaufmann (talk) 21:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I asked myself the same question. I had a brief look at both algorithms and it seems to me that they are indeed very similar. Using the right parameters the Bee algorithm should function like the ABC (e.g. using half of the population as foragers). Oddly neither of the two groups working on ABC and BCO respectively recognize/cite the other algorithm in their articles even though they are similar and sometimes applied to similar problems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.196.71.184 (talk) 19:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]


The article at http://s.i-techonline.com/Book/Swarm-Intelligence/ISBN978-3-902613-09-7-swi08.pdf does a great job of summarizing the variations on this algorithm. In fact BCO and ABC are different algorithms developed by different parties, but as the previous poster remarked, the end result is pretty much identical. The articles should probably be merged to talk about both variations in a single article based on the analysis put forth by the linked article. 192.136.15.186 (talk) 20:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
