Pheromone models in ant colony optimization (ACO)

Journal of Interdisciplinary Mathematics, 2006
Ant Colony Optimization is a constructive meta-heuristic that uses an analogue of ant trail pheromones to learn about good features of solutions. In this paper, using the difference equations as a tool of research, we propose the mathematical model of the distribution of pheromone at the classic double bridge experiment, explain the mathematical model ...

ACO-A*: Ant Colony Optimization Plus A* for 3-D Traveling in Environments With Dense Obstacles [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 2019
Path planning is one of the most important problems in the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). In some common AUV missions, e.g., wreckage search for rescue, an AUV is often required to traverse multiple targets in a complex environment with dense obstacles. In such case, the AUV path planning problem becomes even more challenging. In

Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks Using an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Router Chip [PDF]

Sensors, 2009
Wireless Sensor Networks consisting of nodes with limited power are deployed to gather useful information from the field. In WSNs it is critical to collect the information in an energy efficient manner. Ant Colony Optimization, a swarm intelligence based optimization technique, is widely used in network routing.
