Dynamic Problems and Nature
Dynamic problems and nature inspired meta-heuristics. Originally published in Studies in computational intelligence: Biologically-inspired optimisation methods: parallel algorithms, systems and applications, Chapter 4, pp. 79-110 Summary. Biological systems have often been used as the inspiration for search techniques to solve continuous and discrete combinatorial optimisation problems. One of ...
متن کاملAnts, stochastic optimisation and reinforcement learning
Ant colonies are successful and resilient biological entities, which exhibit a number of desirable collective problem-solving behaviours. The study of ant colonies has recently inspired the development of artificial algorithms for stochastic optimisation and adaptive control, which attempt to mimic some of the properties of the biological counterpart. In this paper, we give a brief overview of ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation and Benchmarking of an Extended Computational Model of Ant Colony System for DNA Sequence Design
Ant colony system (ACS) algorithm is one of the biologically inspired algorithms that have been introduced to effectively solve a variety of combinatorial optimisation problems. In literature, ACS has been employed to solve DNA sequence design problem. The DNA sequence design problem was modelled based on a finite state machine in which the nodes represent the DNA bases {A, C, T, G}. Later in 2...
متن کاملAnt Colony Optimization: Overview and Recent Advances
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic that is inspired by the pheromone trail laying and following behavior of some ant species. Artificial ants in ACO are stochastic solution construction procedures that build candidate solutions for the problem instance under concern by exploiting (artificial) pheromone information that is adapted based on the ants’ search experience and possibly a...
متن کاملParameters Influencing the Performance of Ant Algorithms Applied to Optimisation of Buffer Size in Manufacturing
In this article we study the feasibility of the Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) algorithm for finding optimal Kanban allocations in Kanban systems represented by Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) models. Like other optimisation algorithms inspired by nature, such as Simulated Annealing/Genetic Algorithms, the ACO algorithm contains a large number of adjustable parameters. Thus we study the influence of ...
