An ant colony algorithm for the sequential testing problem under precedence constraints. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We consider the problem of minimum cost sequential testing of a series (parallel) system under precedence constraints that can be modeled as a nonlinear integer program. We develop and implement an ant colony algorithm for the problem. We demonstrate

Distributed House-Hunting in Ant Colonies

open access: yes, 2015
We introduce the study of the ant colony house-hunting problem from a distributed computing perspective. When an ant colony's nest becomes unsuitable due to size constraints or damage, the colony must relocate to a new nest.

Flexible protein folding by ant colony optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Protein structure prediction is one of the most challenging topics in bioinformatics. As the protein structure is found to be closely related to its functions, predicting the folding structure of a protein to judge its functions is meaningful to the ...
