Various studies have shown that the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm has a good performance in approximating complex combinatorial optimization problems such as traveling salesman problem (TSP) for real-world applications. However, disadvantages such as long running time and easy stagnation still restrict its further wide application in many ...

Data mining with an ant colony optimization algorithm [PDF]
The paper proposes an algorithm for data mining called Ant-Miner (ant-colony-based data miner). The goal of Ant-Miner is to extract classification rules from data. The algorithm is inspired by both research on the behavior of real ant colonies and some data mining concepts as well as principles.

All-Optical Implementation of the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm. [PDF]
AbstractWe report all-optical implementation of the optimization algorithm for the famous “ant colony” problem. Ant colonies progressively optimize pathway to food discovered by one of the ants through identifying the discovered route with volatile chemicals (pheromones) secreted on the way back from the food deposit.

A novel quantum algorithm for ant colony optimisation [PDF]
Abstract Ant colony optimisation (ACO) is a commonly used meta‐heuristic to solve complex combinatorial optimisation problems like the travelling salesman problem (TSP), vehicle routing problem (VRP) etc. However, classical ACO algorithms provide better optimal solutions but do not reduce computation time overhead to a significant ...

An improved ant colony optimization algorithm for wire optimization
Wire optimization has become one of the greatest challenges in today’s circuit design. This paper presents a method for wire optimization in circuit routing using an improved ant colony optimization with Steiner nodes (ACOSN) algorithm. Circuit delay and power dissipation are primarily affected by the length of the routed wire.

Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Workforce Planning [PDF]
The workforce planning helps organizations to optimize the production process with aim to minimize the assigning costs. A workforce planning problem is very complex and needs special algorithms to be solved. The problem is to select set of employers from a set of available workers and to assign this staff to the jobs to be performed.
