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...
Recently we have setup the goal of investigating new truly distributed forms of Ant Colony Optimization. We proposed a new distributed approach for Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) al...
We empirically study phase transitions of the asymmetric Traveling Salesman. Using random instances of up to 1,500 cities, we show that many properties of the problem, including t...
The purpose of this paper is to provide a preliminary report on the rst broad-based experimental comparison of modern heuristics for the asymmetric traveling salesmen problem ATSP....

We combine two known polynomial time approximation algorithms for the maximum traveling salesman problem to obtain a randomized algorithm which outputs a solution with expected va...
