Ant colony optimization (ACO) has been widely used for different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we investigate ACO algorithms with respect to their runtime beh...
We present the design of a banner advertising auction which is considerably more expressive than current designs. We describe a general model of expressive ad contracts/bidding an...

Abstract. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic that produces good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Often such successful applications us...
This paper experimentally investigates the dynamical behavior of a search process in a local heuristic search system for a combinatorial optimization problem. Or-opt heuristic algo...
