A novel culture-based multiswarm artificial bee colony (CMABC) algorithm was proposed to address dynamic optimization problems. The historical experience of sub-swarms is preserved as cultural knowledge to guide the subsequent evolutionary process. Experiments were conducted on the moving peaks benchmark function. The results show that the CMABC algorithm was better than, or at least comparable to, the basic ABC algorithm, and other state-of-the-art algorithms.
