Abstract
This paper proposes a bacteria cooperative optimization (BCO) method applying individuals's speed for the performance improvements. All individuals in existing BCO methods move the same length at the same time because their speeds are constant. These methods had the problem that the individuals couldn't find the global optimum effectively because good individuals and bad individuals had same speeds. In order to overcome this problem, we applied the speed concept to the BCO algorithm that individuals moved different lengths according to their speeds assigned by the ranks of individuals according to the fitness of individuals. That is to say, we provide high speeds to bad individuals with low fitness in order to fast move to the areas with high fitness and provide low speeds to good individuals with high fitness because they may be near global optimum. It was found from experimental results of four function optimization problems that the proposed method outperformed the existing methods. Our method showed better performances even than the rank replacement method. This means that applying speed concepts to the individuals for BCO is very effective and efficient.
