In this article we analyze the combination of ACOhg, a new metaheuristic algorithm, plus partial order reduction applied to the problem of finding safety property violations in co...
— The use of a manageable optical network is an important requirement for the new advanced data-intensive grid applications that begin to emerge on the e-Science field. In this ...
There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
: The paper presents results on the runtime complexity of two ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms: Ant System, the oldest ACO variant, and GBAS, the first ACO variant for whic...
In this paper we present an extension of ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. We show how ACO, which was initially developed to be a metaheuristic for combinatoria...
