A Review on Hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization with Artificial Bee Colony

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and artificial bee colony (ABC) are two formidable population-based optimizers inspired by swarm intelligence(SI). They follow different philosophies and paradigms, and both are successfully and widely applied in scientific and engineering research. The hybridization of PSO and ABC represents a promising way to create more powerful SI-based hybrid optimizers, especially for specific problem solving. In the past decade, numerous hybrids of ABC and PSO have emerged with diverse design ideas from many researchers. This paper is aimed at reviewing the existing hybrids based on PSO and ABC and giving a classification and an analysis of them.
