Selection and Configuration of Sorption Isotherm Models in Soils Using Artificial Bees Guided by the Particle Swarm

Pseudocode 1

Pseudocode of the proposed algorithm.

Set Iteration = 0;

INITIALIZE

Initialize food sources (equation (10));

WHILE (the termination conditions are not met)

    % Employed Bee phase

    Evaluate nectar amount (fitness) of food sources (equation (5));

    FOR (each employed bee)

     Produce a new food source using (15);

     Evaluate the fitness of the new food source (equation (5));

     Greedy selection to choose best food source;

    ENDFOR

    Compute probability for each food source (equation (14));

    % Onlooker Bee’s phase

    FOR (each onlooker bee)

     Send each onlooker bees to food sources based on ;

     Produce a new food source using (13);

    Evaluate the fitness of the new food source (equation (5));

    Greedy selection to choose best food source;

    END FOR

    % Scout Bee’s phase

    IF (any employed bee becomes scout bee)

         Send scout bee to a new food source based on OBL (equation (16));

    ENDIF

    Memorize the best solution achieved so far;

    Iteration = Iteration + 1;
