Abstract:

This paper studies the dependency of the Bison Algorithm performance on the control parameter configuration. The Bison Algorithm is a new swarm algorithm based on the protection mechanisms of bison herds. It operates with two groups: the exploiting swarming group and the exploring running group. Even though that adjusting the group size parameters affects both the time requirements and the performance of the algorithm, there was no investigation of the parameter settings carried out yet. This paper describes the Bison Algorithm and then investigates the control parameters for a better understanding of their meaning and influence on the overall optimization process.
