Ant Colony Optimization is an evolutionary method that has recently been applied to scheduling problems. We propose an ACO algorithm for the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness...
Deceptive problems have been considered difficult for ant colony optimization (ACO) and it was believed that ACO will fail to converge to global optima of deceptive problems. Thi...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
—Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm for the approximate solution of combinatorial optimization problems that has been inspired by the for...
Mesh partitioning is an important problem that has extensive applications in many areas. Multilevel algorithms are a successful class of optimization techniques which addresses th...
