Ant colony optimization techniques for the vehicle routing problem
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...

A Distributed Chained Lin-Kernighan Algorithm for TSP Problems
The Chained Lin-Kernighan algorithm (CLK) is one of the best heuristics to solve Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). In this paper a distributed algorithm is proposed, were nodes i...

Quick-and-dirty ant colony optimization
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a well known metaheuristic. In the literature it has been used for tackling many optimization problems. Often, ACO is hybridized with a local sear...
