Generally, swarm models and algorithms consider synchronous agents, i.e., they act simultaneously. This hypothesis does not fit multi-agent simulators nor robotic systems. In this...
In this article, a hybrid optimization method has been proposed consisting of modified ant colony systems (ACSs) and constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) to solve the problems ...
Abstract--Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a problemsolving technique that was inspired by the related research on the behavior of real-world ant colony. In the domain of Network-o...
One of the most important, common and critical management issues lies in determining the "best" project portfolio out of a given set of investment proposals. As this dec...
