Pheromone Evaluation in Ant Colony Optimization
- Proceeding of the Third AsiaPaci c Conference on Simulated Evolution and Learning (SEAL2000
, 2000
"... In Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) artificial ants communicate by laying synthetic pheromone along the edges on their path through a decision graph. This attracts following ants so that they will likely search in the same region of the search space. The problem of how the pheromone information should ..."
