— We propose an algorithm that is based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic for producing harmonized melodies. The algorithm works in two stages. In the first sta...
In this paper we introduce model-based search as a unifying framework accommodating some recently proposed metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization such as ant colony optimiza...

The Ant-Miner algorithm, first proposed by Parpinelli and colleagues, applies an ant colony optimization heuristic to the classification task of data mining to discover an ordered...
The car sequencing problem involves scheduling cars along an assembly line while satisfying capacity constraints. In this paper, we describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algor...
This paper deals with transport user equilibrium. A modified version of the ant colony system is proposed where the ant colony heuristic is adapted in order to take into account a...
