Title: Application of swarm intelligence algorithms to multi-objective distributed local area network topology design problem
Abstract: Artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization, ant colony optimization (ACO), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are well-known swarm intelligence algorithms. They have been widely used for solving many real-life optimization problems in various domains. This chapter presents how these algorithms can be used in optimizing the distributed local area network topology design. The problem has been modelled as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem using goal programming. In addition to adapting the three algorithms for the problem, a hybrid ABC algorithm has also been proposed. Performance of the algorithms has been evaluated through a simulation study, and the results indicate that the hybrid ABC algorithm outperforms ACO, PSO and ABC algorithms.
