Automatic Programming with Ant Colony Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic programming is the use of search techniques to find programs that solve a problem. The most commonly explored automatic programming technique is genetic programming, which uses genetic algorithms to carry out the search. In this paper we introduce a new technique called Ant Colony Programming (ACP) which uses an ant colony based search in place of genetic algorithms. This algorithm is described and compared with other approaches in the literature.

A Hybrid Dynamic Programming for Inventory Routing Problem in Collaborative Reverse Supply Chains
Inventory routing problems arise as simultaneous decisions in inventory and routing optimization. In the present study, vendor managed inventory is proposed as a collaborative model for reverse supply chains and the optimization problem is modeled in terms of an inventory routing problem. The studied reverse supply chains include several return generators and recovery centers and one collection...
متن کاملGradient-based Ant Colony Optimization for Continuous Spaces
A novel version of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for solving continuous space problems is presented in this paper. The basic structure and concepts of the originally reported ACO are preserved and adaptation of the algorithm to the case of continuous space is implemented within the general framework. The stigmergic communication is simulated through considering certain direction vect...

متن کاملAnt Colony Programming for Approximation Problems
A method of automatic programming, called genetic programming, assumes that the desired program is found by using a genetic algorithm. We propose an idea of ant colony programming in which instead of a genetic algorithm an ant colony algorithm is applied to search for the program. The test results demonstrate that the proposed idea can be used with success to solve the approximation problems.
