Abstract
The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is a well-known simple and efficient bee inspired metaheuristic that has been showed to achieve good performance on real valued optimization problems. Inspired by such, a Quick Artificial Bee Colony (QABC) was proposed by Karaboga to enhance the global search and bring better analogy to the dynamic of bees. To improve its local search capabilities, a modified version of it, called Evolutionary Quick Artificial Bee Colony (EQABC), is proposed. The novel algorithm employs the mutation operators found in Evolutionary Strategies (ES) that was applied in ABC from Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO). In order to test the performance of the new algorithm, it was applied in four large-scale constrained optimization structural engineering problems. The results obtained by EQABC are compared to original ABC, QABC, and ABC + ES, one of the algorithms inspired for the development of EQABC.
