%0 Journal Article %T Solving Shortest Common Supersequence Problem Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm %A Mustafa M. Noaman %A Ameera S. Jaradat %J International Journal of ACM Jordan %D 2011 %I ACM Jordan ISWSA Professional Chapter %X The idea behind this work is to solve the Shortest Common Supersequence by using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm. This algorithm is considered as one of the newest nature-inspired swarm-based optimization algorithms and has a promising performance [6]. Shortest Common Supersequence is a classical problem in the field of strings and it is classified as NP-Hard problem [12]. Many algorithms were used to solve this problem, Such as Genetic algorithms [14], Majority Merge algorithm and Ant Colony algorithm [17]. The project uses Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm to provide a scalable solution to the Shortest Common Supersequence problem. The algorithm evaluation showed promising results. %U http://ijj.acm.org/volumes/volume2/no3/ijjvol2no3p8.pdf
