Ant Colony Optimization

by Marco Dorigo, Thomas Sta1/4tzle, Thomas Sttzle, et al.

An overview of the rapidly growing field of ant colony optimization that describes theoretical findings, the major algorithms, and current applications.

The complex social behaviors of ants have been much studied by science, and computer scientists are now finding that these behavior patterns can provide models for solving difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The attempt to develop algorithms inspired by one aspect of ant behavior,...
