Optimization techniques inspired by swarm intelligence have become increasingly popular during the last decade. They are characterized by a decentralized way of working that mimics the behavior of swarms of social insects, flocks of birds, or schools of fish. The advantage of these approaches over traditional techniques is their robustness and flexibility. These properties make swarm intelligen...

Ant Colonies (AC) optimization take inspiration from the behavior of real ant colonies to solve optimization problems. This paper presents a parallel model for ant colonies to solve the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). Parallelism demonstrates that cooperation between communicating agents improve the obtained results in solving the QAP. It demonstrates also that high-performance computing is...

<span lang="EN-US">Optimal power flow (OPF) solutions with generalized interline controller (GIPFC) devices play an imperative role in enhancing the system’s performance. This paper used a novel ant lion optimization (ALO) algorithm which is amalgamated Lévy flight operator, and effectual proposed named as, ameliorated (AALO) algorithm. It being implemented to solve single objective OPF p...

Constraint Cellular ant algorithm is a new optimization method for solving real problems by using both constraints method, the evolutionary rule of cellular, graph theory and the characteristics of ant colony optimization. Multi-objective vehicle routing problem is very important and practical in logistic research fields, but it is difficult to model and solve because objectives have complicate...

Existing ant colony optimization (ACO) for software testing cases generation is a very popular domain in software testing engineering. However, the traditional ACO has flaws, as early search pheromone is relatively scarce, search efficiency is low, search model is too simple, positive feedback mechanism is easy to produce the phenomenon of stagnation and precocity. This paper introduces improve...

Recent days, research in wireless network becomes major area for the past few decades. In wireless routing many routing methods such as table driven, source driven; many characteristics such as reactive routing, proactive routing; many routing algorithms such as dijikstra’s shortest path, distributed bell-man ford algorithm are proposed in the literature. For effective wireless routing, the rec...
