Ant Colony Optimization Thomas Stu¨tzle IRIDIA-CoDE, Universit´e Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels, Belgium stuetzle@ulb.ac.be Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a stochastic local search method that has been inspired by the pheromone trail laying and following behavior of some ant species ...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a class of constructive meta-heuristic algorithms sharing the common approach of constructing a solution on the basis of information provided both by a standard constructive heuristic and by previously constructed solutions. This tutorial is composed of three parts. The...
To solve a problem with an Ant-Colony Optimization algorithm, you need a colony of agents (a.k.a. ants), a graph representing the problem, and a pheromone data-structure to allow communication between these agents. Isula tries to emulate that pattern: ...

This paper introduces AntLib, an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) framework. C++ developed; it is a generic framework that can be applied with almost no adaptations to any combinatorial optimization problem. AntLib is a reusable object oriented framework, based on several well known design patterns ...

In this tutorial, we’lldescribe the concept of the ant colony optimization(ACO), followed by the code example. 2. How ACO Works ACO is a genetic algorithm inspired by an ant’s natural behavior. To fully understand the ACO algorithm, we need to get familiar with its basic concepts: ...
We built these open-source projects to showcase Isula capabilities, so the code follows a tutorial-style and its fully documented. At the time of this publication, Isula is the most popular ant colony optimisation project in Java at GitHub, in both forks and stars, among 24 code repositories...
