Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) is an effective population-based meta-heuristic for the solution of a wide variety of problems. As a population-based algorithm, its computation is intrinsically massively parallel, and it is there- fore…
Metaheuristic algorithms are currently widely used to solve a variety of optimization problems across various industries. This article discusses the application of a metaheuristic algorithm to optimize the hierarchical architecture of an…
Nowadays, we are immersed in tens of newly-proposed evolutionary and swam-intelligence metaheuristics, which makes it very difficult to choose a proper one to be applied on a specific optimization problem at hand. On the other hand, most of…
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a swarm intelligence methodology utilized for solving optimization problems through information transmission mediated by pheromones. As ants sequentially secrete pheromones that subsequently evaporate, the…
To construct a robot that can walk as efficiently and steadily as humans or other legged animals, we develop an enhanced elitist-mutated ant colony optimization~(EACO) algorithm with genetic and crossover operators in real-time applications…
Taking inspiration from nature for meta-heuristics has proven popular and relatively successful. Many are inspired by the collective intelligence exhibited by insects, fish and birds. However, there is a question over their scalability to…
This paper introduces a new optimisation algorithm, called Adaptive Bacterial Colony Optimisation (ABCO), modelled after the foraging behaviour of E. coli bacteria. The algorithm follows three stages--explore, exploit and reproduce--and is…
Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) is a well known metaheuristic that has proven successful at solving Travelling Salesman Problems (TSP). However, ACO suffers from two issues; the first is that the technique has significant memory requirements…
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a prominent swarm intelligence algorithm extensively applied to path planning. However, traditional ACO methods often exhibit shortcomings, such as blind search behavior and slow convergence within complex…
Ant Colony algorithm has been applied to various optimization problems, however most of the previous work on scaling and parallelism focuses on Travelling Salesman Problems (TSPs). Although, useful for benchmarks and new idea comparison,…
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is renowned for its effectiveness in solving Traveling Salesman Problems, yet it faces computational challenges in CPU-based environments, particularly with large-scale instances. In response, we introduce a…
This paper discusses the problem of placing weighted items in a circular container in two-dimensional space. This problem is of great practical significance in various mechanical engineering domains, such as the design of communication…
The hypothetical global delivery schedule of Santa Claus must follow strict rolling night-time windows that vary with the Earth's rotation and obey an energy budget that depends on payload size and cruising speed. To design this schedule,…
A large number of experimental data shows that Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm has obvious advantages in text classification, handwriting recognition, image classification, bioinformatics, and some other fields. To some degree, the…
The aim of this paper is to introduce AHCOA to the electromagnetic and antenna community. AHCOA is a new nature inspired meta heuristic algorithm inspired by how there is a hierarchy and departments in the ant hill colonization. It has high…
Software design is crucial to successful software development, yet is a demanding multi-objective problem for software engineers. In an attempt to assist the software designer, interactive (i.e. human in-the-loop) meta-heuristic search…
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has time complexity O(t*m*N*N), and its typical application is to solve Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), where t, m, and N denotes the iteration number, number of ants, number of cities respectively. Cutting…
In this paper, we investigate nonlinear optimization problems whose constraints are defined as fuzzy relational equations (FRE) with max-min composition. Since the feasible solution set of the FRE is often a non-convex set and the…
Optimisation of fleets of commercial vehicles with regards scheduling tasks from various locations to vehicles can result in considerably lower fleet traversal times. This has significant benefits including reduced expenses for the company…
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been applied in supervised learning in order to induce classification rules as well as decision trees, named Ant-Miners. Although these are competitive classifiers, the stability of these classifiers is an…
