Abstract. Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data storage or network resources across dynamic and geog...
This paper proposes a clustering method SOMAK, which is composed by Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) followed by the Ant K-means (AK) algorithm. The aim of this method is not to find an...

Abstract. The advancement of network induces great demands on a series of applications such as the multicast routing. This paper firstly makes a brief review on the algorithms in ...
This paper merges hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) with ant colony optimization (ACO) to produce a HRL ACO algorithm capable of generating solutions for large domains. Th...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
