Abstract. Algorithmic skeletons correspond to a high-level programming model that takes advantage of nestable programming patterns to hide the complexity of parallel/distributed ap...
This paper proposes a novel data clustering algorithm, coined ‘cellular ants’, which combines principles of cellular automata and ant colony optimization algorithms to group s...
