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...
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...

We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
This paper utilizes Ant-Miner – the first Ant Colony algorithm for discovering classification rules – in the field of web content mining, and shows that it is more effective th...
Abstract. In this paper we present an estimation of distribution particle swarm optimization algorithm that borrows ideas from recent developments in ant colony optimization. In th...
