We present a new local optimizer called SOP-3-exchange for the sequential ordering problem that extends a local search for the traveling salesman problem to handle multiple cons...
Early applications of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) have been mainly concerned with solving ordering problems (e.g., traveling salesman problem). We introduce a new version of A...
Natural evolution provides a paradigm for the design of stochastic-search optimization algorithms. Various forms of simulated evolution, such as genetic algorithms and evolution...
Ant System is a general purpose algorithm inspired by the study of the behavior of ant colonies. It is based on a cooperative search paradigm that is applicable to the solution ...
Swarm intelligence is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals. In particular, ants have ins...
