Abstract

Bacterial foraging algorithm is a novel evolutionary computation algorithm proposed four years ago, which is based on the foraging behavior ofE.colibacteria living in human intestine. In this paper an improved operation, individual-based search, is presented with regard to the important component (Chemotaxi) of bacterial foraging algorithm. The improved algorithm is applied to job shop scheduling benchmark problems. Numerical experiments show the effectiveness of the improved algorithm.
