Popis: Meta-heuristics are mimicry of natural phenomenon in the form of computational frameworks and these are used to find robust and global solutions of complex problems. Bacteria Foraging System (BFS) is one of such newly developed model based on the life structure of single cell bacteria that can follow basic computational instructions like chemotaxis, reproduction, etc. and using these in sequence it can fight and survive in the complex chemical environments. In this work some new improvements has been experimented successfully for the reproduction part of BFS and tested for Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problems, formulated as Bi-Level Optimization Problem. Experimental results are showing its effectiveness for the searching of robust and global solutions.
