Analysis of the efficacy of a Two-Stage methodology for ant colony optimization: Case of study with TSP and QAP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a bioinspired metaheuristic based on ants foraging used to solve different classes of problems. In this paper, we show how, using a Two-Stage approach the quality of the solutions of ACO is improved. The Two-Stage approach can be applied to different ACO. The performance of this new approach is studied in the Traveling Salesman Problem and Quadratic Assignment Problem. The experimental results show that the obtained solutions are improved both problems using the Two-Stage approach. Several statistical procedures are applied to show the effect of this new approach. 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملA Detailed Analysis of the Population-Based Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for the TSP and the QAP
The population-based ant colony optimization algorithm (PACO) uses a very different pheromone update when compared to other ACO algorithms. In this work, we study P-ACO’s behavior for solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP) and the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). In particular, we investigate the impact of a local search on P-ACO parameters and performance. The results clearly show tha...
