Honey Bees Mating Optimisation (HBMO) algorithm is a swarm-based optimisation algorithm, which simulates the mating process of real honey bees. We apply a hybridisation of HBMO to solve a combinatorial optimisation problem known as Terminal Assignment Problem (TAP). The purpose is to connect a given set of terminals to a given set of concentrators and minimise the link cost to form a communication network. The feasibility of Hybrid HBMO is demonstrated and compared with the solutions obtained by other algorithms from literature over different TAP instances.engCommunication NetworksHoney Bees Mating Optimisation AlgorithmTerminal Assignment Problemconference paper10.1109/isabel.2010.57028452325-5331
