Wenrui Zhang, Application of an Improved Ant Colony Algorithm in Coastal Tourism Route Optimization, Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 98: Recent Developments in Practices and Research on ...

ABSTRACT Growing concerns about the environment, energy dependency, and the unstable fuel prices have increased the sales of electric vehicles. Energy-efficient routing for electric vehicles requires ...

Ant-colony optimization algorithm is an evolutionary learning algorithm which could be applied to solve the complex problems.

Optimization 3: Combining/Balancing MPI Ranks and OpenMP Threads Summary Background: The ACO Algorithm When ants search for food, they deposit pheromones along their paths, which attract more ants.

Researchers from Xinjiang University have developed an improved ant colony algorithm for dynamic job allocation in agricultural machinery, reducing operational costs and improving efficiency in ...

Scientists found that ants and other natural systems use optimization algorithms similar to those used by engineered systems, including the Internet.

The idea isn't entirely new, as a probabilistic algorithm called ant colony optimization (ACO) has been known to the IT community for some time.
