Abstract: For improving searching ability of ABC（Artificial Bee Colony）, this paper proposes VEABC（Virus Evolution Artificial Bee Colony） based on bio-virus mechanism and infection based operation between host and virus in continuous state. Classic ABC has fast convergent speed, but it easily falls into premature convergences and local optimal solution. Modified ABC utilizes the virus horizontal infection and vertical propagation ability to enhance its variety of bee population, which is based on virus co-evolutionary, elite and lazy employed bee base. Experiments show that the virus infection operation strengthens the local search ability in the solution space and the precision obviously outperforms several other algorithms.
