The formation of fruiting bodies by myxobacteria colonies involves altruistic suicide by many individual bacteria and is thus vulnerable to exploitation by cheating mutants. We rep...
Traditionally, representation has been perceived as a necessity for producing intelligent behavior. Once the right representation is in place to drive it, behavior unfolds as the ...
This paper introduces an ant-based colony system for the representation of a verbal route description. It is grounded on a natural metaphor that mimics the behavior of ant colonie...
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...
This paper benchmarks the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm using the noise-free BBOB 2010 testbed. The results show how this algorithm is highly successful in the separable a...
