Ant colony optimization

Ant colony optimization / Marco Dorigo, Thomas Stützle.

An overview of the rapidly growing field of ant colony optimization that describes theoretical findings, the major algorithms, and current applications. The complex social behaviors of ants have been much studied by science, and computer scientists are now finding that these behavior patterns can pr...
