Contour Correspondence via Ant Colony Optimization
We formulate contour correspondence as a Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP), incorporating proximity information. By maintaining the neighborhood relation between points this way,...

An Ant Algorithm with a New Pheromone Evaluation Rule for Total Tardiness Problems
Ant Colony Optimization is an evolutionary method that has recently been applied to scheduling problems. We propose an ACO algorithm for the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness...

Convergence of Ant Colony Optimization on First-order Deceptive Systems
Deceptive problems have been considered difficult for ant colony optimization (ACO) and it was believed that ACO will fail to converge to global optima of deceptive problems. Thi...

Ant Colony Optimization for Tree Decompositions
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...

A GA-ACO-local search hybrid algorithm for solving quadratic assignment problem
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
