Swarm intelligence and internet of everything optimization solutions.

Communication among physical objects is recently gaining a lot of attention due to a wide range of usage. The interconnection of everything, such as vehicles, drones, and home appliances, etc. is very common nowadays. With the growth of the Internet of Everything (IoE), data gathering, energy efficiency, task scheduling, and security are becoming interesting research domains for community experts. These dynamic and real-time issues need to be supervised by some intelligent mechanism that not only provides resolution but also examines the problem in a very structured manner. Such complex engineering optimization problems can be efficiently addressed by nature-inspired heuristic optimizations. This paper highlights a few of the major issues that are coherently dealt with in the literature using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization and its variants. The IoE is further categorized in the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Vehicles (IoV), and Internet of Drones (IoD) to present uncomplicated and distinct employment of ABC expansion. Finally, the paper presents recent research directions in the field of IoE and allied domains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
