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...
This paper describes some extensions added to the continuous simulation language OOCSMP to perform agent-oriented simulation. The extensions are tested by simulating the evolution...
: Two strategies for information exchange between processors in parallel ant colony algorithm are presented. Theses strategies can make each processor choose other processors to co...
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
This paper introduces an ant-based colony system for the representation of a verbal route description. It is grounded on a natural metaphor that mimics the behavior of ant colonie...
