Summary: This paper proposed an Improved Bacterial Foraging Optimization (IBFO) algorithm to enhance the optimization ability of original Bacterial Foraging Optimization. In the new algorithm, Social cooperation is introduced to guide the bacteria tumbling towards better directions. Meanwhile, adaptive step size is employed in chemotaxis process. The new algorithm is tested on a set of benchmark functions. Canonical BFO, Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm are employed for comparison. Experiment results show that the IBFO algorithm offers significant improvements over the original BFO algorithm and is a competitive optimizer for numerical optimization.
