A BRIEF SURVEY ON HYBRID METAHEURISTICS: The term metaheuristic was introduced to define heuristic methods that can be applied to a wide set of different problems. In other words, a metaheuristic can be seen as a general algorithmic framework whi

The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm for numerical optimization. It is based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bees. This paper presents a parallel version of the algorithm for shared memory archi
