Ant-Q: A Reinforcement Learning Approach to the Traveling Salesman Problem
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...

Solving Permutation Constraint Satisfaction Problems with Artificial Ants
Abstract. We describe in this paper Ant-P-solver, a generic constraint solver based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The ACO metaheuristic takes inspiration on t...

Niching for Population-Based Ant Colony Optimization
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...

ACO with semi-random start applied on MKP
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a stochastic search method that mimics the social behavior of real ants colonies, which manage to establish the shortest route to feeding sources a...
