Swarm intelligence algorithms gain more attention with ever growing computing capabilities since they can provide diverse and useful solutions for ill-structured and complex problems. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is a recently developed promising swarm intelligence algorithm attracting researches attention with its strong foundations. In this study, few ABC algorithms including a memory integrated version have been tested for solving 1-D bin-packing problems, which is known as one of challenging NP-Hard combinatorial problems. The results seem very encouraging and lead to further studies to implement ABC algorithms for other combinatorial optimization problems, especially higher dimensional bin-packing problems.
