Optimization method for cloud manufacturing service composition based on the improved artificial bee colony algorithm

Abstract

To improve the optimization quality, efficiency and stability of cloud manufacturing service composition, a optimization method for cloud manufacturing service composition based on improved artificial bee colony algorithm was proposed.Firstly, three methods of service collaboration quality calculation under cloud manufacturing service composition scenario were put forward.Then, the optimization model with service collaboration quality was constructed.Finally, an artificial bee colony algorithm with multi-search strategy island model was designed to solve the optimal cloud manufacturing service composition.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the current popular improved artificial bee colony algorithms and other swarm intelligence algorithms in terms of optimization quality, efficiency and stability.
