Abstract

We present a novel application of the Artificial Bee Colony algorithm to solve the non-unicost Set Covering Problem. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm is a recent Swarm Metaheuristic technique based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bees. We present a 2-level metaheuristic approach where an Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm acts as a low-level metaheuristic and its paremeters are set by a higher level Genetic Algorithm.3
