Artificial immune system (AIS) is one of the natureinspired algorithm for solving optimization problem. In AIS, clonal selection algorithm (CSA) is able to improve global searching ability. However, the CSA convergence and accuracy can be improved further because the hypermutation in CSA itself cannot always guarantee a better solution. Alternatively,Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) have been used efficiently in solving complex optimization problems, but they have a tendency to converge prematurely. In this study, the CSA is modified using the best solution for each exposure (iteration) namely Single Best Remainder (SBR) CSA. In this study, the results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm (SBR-CSA) compares favourably with other algorithms while Half Best Insertion (HBI) CSA produced moderate results in most of the simulations.
