This paper overviews recent work on ant algorithms, that is, algorithms for discrete optimization which took inspiration from the observation of ant colonies foraging behavior, an...
Conventional encryption technology often requires users to protect a secret key by selecting a password or passphrase. While a good passphrase will only be known to the user, it a...

More than ever before the Internet is changing computing as we know it. Global access to information and resources is becoming an integral part of nearly every aspect of our lives...
The LOGFLOW parallel Prolog system is similar to the recent parallel database systems concerning its dataflow execution model and its capability of running on othing architectures...
The problem considered in this paper consists in defining an assignment of frequencies to radio links, to be established between base stations and mobile transmitters, which minim...
Ant colonies, and more generally social insect societies, are distributed systems that, in spite of the simplicity of their individuals, present a highly structured social organiz...
: A general framework for solving combinatorial optimization problems heuristically by the Ant System approach is developed. The framework is based on the concept of a construction...
