Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a paradigm that employs a set of cooperating agents to solve functions or obtain good solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. ...
Although the ant metaphor has been successfully applied to routing of data packets both in wireless and fixed networks, little is yet known about its applicability to the task of...
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...

Abstract. For solving combinatorial optimisation problems, exact methods accurately exploit the structure of the problem but are tractable only up to a certain size; approximation ...
