Structural topology optimization using ant colony optimization algorithm

Applied Soft Computing Journal, 2009
The ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, a relatively recent bio-inspired approach to solve combinatorial optimization problems mimicking the behavior of real ant colonies, is applied to problems of continuum structural topology design. An overview of the ACO algorithm is first described.

On the Faster Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

2009 Fifth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2009
The pheromone trails in ACO are used to reflect the ants’ search experience, so the quality of the pheromone is crucial to the success of ACO. The main factors affecting the quality of the pheromone include the strategy of updating the pheromone and the quality of the constructed solutions.

An efficient Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for function optimization

2013 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, 2013
In this article we have proposed an efficient Ant Colony Optimization method, namely Guided Ant Colony Optimization (GACO) technique for optimizing mathematical functions. The search process of the optimization approach is directed towards a region or a hypercube in a multidimensional space where the amount of pheromone deposited is maximum after a ...

An optimization algorithm based on ant colony algorithm

International Conference on Automatic Control and Artificial Intelligence (ACAI 2012), 2012
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm to resolve combinatorial optimization problem. Congestion degree in the artificial fish school algorithm is used in ant colony algorithm in this paper. During the initial process of the optimization, the congestion degree plays the main role to guide the ants to search the new path randomly, which makes the

A Novel Quantum Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm

2007
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a technique for mainly optimizing the discrete optimization problem. Based on transforming the discrete binary optimization problem as a "best path" problem solved using the ant colony metaphor, a novel quantum ant colony optimization (QACO) algorithm is proposed to tackle it.

Improved Strategies of Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms

2012
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms, inspired by the foraging behavior of real ants, have achieved great success in tackling discrete combinational optimization problems. Since the first ant algorithm—Ant System was introduced in early 1990s, various improved versions of ant algorithms have been proposed and most of them share similar improving ...
