+     "Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) is one of the most recently defined algorithms by Dervis
+Karaboga in 2005, motivated by the intelligent behavior of honey bees.  It is as
+simple as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE)
+algorithms, and uses only common control parameters such as colony size and
+maximum cycle number.  The @code{r-abcoptim} implements the Artificial bee
+colony optimization algorithm @url{http://mf.erciyes.edu.tr/abc/pub/tr06_2005.pdf}.
+  This version is a work-in-progress and is written in R code.")
