This paper introduces an ant-based colony system for the representation of a verbal route description. It is grounded on a natural metaphor that mimics the behavior of ant colonie...
: The paper concerns the design of evolutionary algorithms and pattern search methods on two circuit design problems: the multi-objective optimization of an Operational Transconduc...
We consider a combination of the capacitated vehicle routing problem and a class of additional loading constraints involving a parallel machine scheduling problem. The work is mot...

This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
This paper addresses the problem of multiagent task allocation in extreme teams. An extreme team is composed by a large number of agents with overlapping functionality operating i...
