Since the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm had drawbacks of slow convergence and easy to fall into local optimum, a modified optimization algorithm called fast artificial bee colony (FABC) was introduced by setting the selfadaptive scaling factor and replacing the traditional roulette wheel selection model with the fitness sorting method. The suitability of FABC for geometry optimization of structures was tested on four truss examples with discrete variables, compared with other optimal algorithms of GA, ACA, HPSO and GSO. The results show that FABC had advantages over other algorithms in convergence accuracy. 〖JP2〗Furthermore, due to the simple algorithm structure, both algorithms of ABC and FABC can apply to solving other optimal issues.
