A parallel implementation of ant colony optimization [PDF]
Ant Colony Optimization is a relatively new class of meta-heuristic search techniques for optimization problems. As it is a population-based technique that examines numerous solution options at each step of the algorithm, there are a variety of ...

Jamming Model for the Extremal Optimization Heuristic [PDF]
Extremal Optimization, a recently introduced meta-heuristic for hard optimization problems, is analyzed on a simple model of jamming. The model is motivated first by the problem of finding lowest energy configurations for a disordered spin system on a ...

Meta-heuristics and Artificial Intelligence [PDF]
Meta-heuristics are generic search methods that are used to solve challenging combinatorial problems. We describe these methods and highlight their common features and differences by grouping them in two main kinds of approaches: Perturbative meta-heuristics that build new combinations by modifying existing combinations (such as, for example, genetic ...
