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 ...

Optimization and simulation research on Ant Colony Algorithm

2010 Sixth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2010
Aims at remedying the default of precocity and stagnation in the standard Ant Colony Algorithm(ACA),the rule of dynamic updating pheromones is presented, so that the area of feasible solutions are expanded, and the capability of global search is enhanced.
