In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
Although the ant metaphor has been successfully applied to routing of data packets both in wireless and fixed networks, little is known yet about its appropriateness for search i...
This paper proposes a clustering method SOMAK, which is composed by Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) followed by the Ant K-means (AK) algorithm. The aim of this method is not to find an...
