Ant Colony Optimization
Open accessAbstract
The introduction of ant colony optimization (ACO) and to survey its most notable applications are discussed. Ant colony optimization takes inspiration from the forging behavior of some ant species. These ants deposit Pheromone on the ground in order to mark some favorable path that should be followed by other members of the colony. The model proposed by Deneubourg and co-workers for explaining the foraging behavior of ants is the main source of inspiration for the development of ant colony optimization. In ACO a number of artificial ants build solutions to an optimization problem and exchange information on their quality through a communication scheme that is reminiscent of the one adopted by real ants. ACO algorithms is introduced and all ACO algorithms share the same idea and the ACO is formalized into a meta-heuristics for combinatorial problems. It is foreseeable that future research on ACO will focus more strongly on rich optimization problems that include stochasticity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
