Abstract: Voting algorithms are extensively used to make
decisions in fault tolerant systems where each redundant module
gives inconsistent outputs. Popular voting algorithms include
majority voting, weighted voting, and inexact majority voters. Each
of these techniques suffers from scenarios where agreements do not
exist for the given voter inputs. This has been successfully overcome
in literature using fuzzy theory. Our previous work concentrated on a
neuro-fuzzy algorithm where training using the neuro system
substantially improved the prediction result of the voting system.
Weight training of Neural Network is sub-optimal. This study
proposes to optimize the weights of the Neural Network using
Artificial Bee Colony algorithm. Experimental results show the
proposed system improves the decision making of the voting
algorithms.
