Tabling, CB-CTT, a known scheduling problem. We adapted a
new swarm intelligence approach, identified as MABC based
on the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) to solve the CB-CTT.
The approach consists of two steps: first, a feasible solution
of the problem is constructed, which satisfies only the hard
constraints; and then, the soft constraints are attempted to
be satisfied. MABC could satisfy the hard constraints of the
problem for all datasets of the ITC-2007 track 3, a benchmark
dataset for the CB-CTT. The penalty of the achieved solutions
by MABC is comparable to the related work in the literature
that used the ABC for solving the CB-CTT.
