SOLVING P-MEDIAN PROBLEMS USING BEE FORAGING

In this paper the well-known p-median problem is tackled using a version of a heuristic bee algorithm. The proposed bee algorithm is explained and applied to eight different data sets. The results obtained are then compared to a classical, but effective, heuristic algorithm called the vertex substitution heuristic. The results on these data sets show that the proposed algorithm is competitive with the vertex substitution heuristic.
