An improved bacterial foraging optimization
2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2009Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) is a novel heuristic algorithm inspired from forging behavior of E. coli. After analysis of optimization mechanism, a series of measures are taken to improve the classic BFO and we call it iBFO. In the modified method, both of search scope and chemotaxis step varies dynamically, which can markably accelerate the ...

Bacterial colony foraging optimization
Neurocomputing, 2014This paper proposes a novel bacterial colony foraging (BCF) algorithm for complex optimization problems. The proposed BCF extend original bacterial foraging algorithm to adaptive and cooperative mode by combining bacterial chemotaxis, cell-to-cell communication, and a self-adaptive foraging strategy.

An Improved Bacterial Foraging Optimization for Global Optimization
2021This paper presents an Improved Bacterial Foraging Optimization (IBFO) to solve the high computational complexity and less conductive search capability of the original BFO. A single loop implementation structure is adopted to reduce the computational complexity of the original algorithm with a triple-nested implementation structure.

Drilling Path Optimization by Optimal Foraging Algorithm
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, 2018Drilling path optimization (DPO) is a crucial issue in current manufacturing systems. In this paper, an optimization algorithm named the optimal foraging algorithm (OFA) is presented based on optimal foraging theory to solve the sequencing problem when many holes must be drilled.

Bacterial Foraging Optimization: A Survey
2012Often real world provides some complex optimization problems that can not be easily dealt with available mathematical optimization methods. If the user is not very conscious about the exact solution of the problem in hand then intelligence emerged from social behavior of social colony members may be used to solve these kind of problems.

Optimal foraging and growth in bluegills
Oecologia, 1983Two models of foraging behaviour (optimal prey selection and random prey selection) were used to calculate the potential net energy intake of bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) in a small Michigan lake. These predictions were then compared to the actual growth exhibited by bluegills in the lake.

Optimal foraging thoery usually assumes that certain key environmental parameters are known to a foraging animal, and predicts the animal's behaviour under this assumption. However, an animal entering a new environment has incomplete knowledge of these parameters.

All organisms face problems of resource acquisition, and in the broadest sense foraging theory is an attempt to make generalizations about the processes associated with resource acquisition. In theory, resource acquisition is a very general problem, but in practice foraging theory is closely linked to the study of animals and their behavior, since ...

Optimal Management of Optimal Foragers
1981Management models should reflect the reality that organisms will change their behavior in response to environmental changes. Based on the evidence that the harvesting behavior of many animals approximates an optimal behavior, it is shown here how this result may be used in a model of predator-prey dynamics. Using this model it is shown that equilibrium
