An Island Model Based Ant System with Lookahead for the Shortest Supersequence Problem

چکیده
Abs t rac t . In this paper we introduce an Ant Colony Optimisation (ACO) algorithm for the Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) problem, which has applications in production system planning, mechanical engineering and molecular biology. The ACO algorithm is used to find good parameters for a heuristic for the SCS problem. An island model with several populations of ants is used for the ACO algorithm. Besides we introduce a lookahead function which makes the decisions of the ants dependent on the state arrived after the decision.

Solving Shortest Common Supersequence Problem Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm
The idea behind this work is to solve the Shortest Common Supersequence by using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm. This algorithm is considered as one of the newest nature-inspired swarm-based optimization algorithms and has a promising performance [6]. Shortest Common Supersequence is a classical problem in the field of strings and it is classified as NP-Hard problem [12]. Many algorithms...
متن کاملAnt Colony Algorithm for the Single Loop Routing Problem
In this paper, a new algorithm for solving the single loop routing problem is presented. The purpose of the single loop routing problem(SLRP) is to find the shortest loop for an automated guided vehicle covering at least one edge of each department of a block layout. First it shown that this problem can be represented as a graph model. Then a meta-heuristic algorithm based on and colony system ...

متن کاملAn Ant-Colony Algorithm to Transform Jobshops into Flowshops: A Case of Shortest-Common-Supersequence Stringology Problem
In this work we address the problem of transforming a jobshop layout into a flowshop layout with the objective of minimizing the length of the resulting flowline. This problem is a special case of the well-known classical Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) stringology problem. In view of the problem being NP-hard, an ant-colony algorithm, called PACO-SFR, is proposed. A new scheme of forming a...
متن کاملProblems Related to Subsequences and Supersequences
We present an algorithm for building the automaton that searches for all non-overlapping occurrences of each subsequence from the set of subsequences. Further, we define Directed Acyclic Supersequence Graph and use it to solve the generalized Shortest Common Supersequence problem, the Longest Common Non-Supersequence problem, and the Longest Consistent Supersequence problem.
