Ant colonies, and more generally social insect societies, are distributed systems that, in spite of the simplicity of their individuals, present a highly structured social organiz...
Abstract. The utilization of pseudo-random proportional rule to balance between the exploitation and exploration of the search process was shown in Ant Colony System (ACS) algorith...
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...
Two general-purpose metaheuristic algorithms for solving multiobjective stochastic combinatorial optimization problems are introduced: SP-ACO (based on the Ant Colony Optimization ...
This article proposes the Two-Phase Local Search for finding a good approximate set of non-dominated solutions. The two phases of this procedure are to (i) generate an initial sol...
