Description: ACO (ant colony algorithm, referred to as ACA) is the 1990s by the Italian scholar M. Dorigo, who first proposed a new type of simulated evolutionary algorithm. It appears to solve NP-hard problem provides a new way. Ant colony algorithm for traveling salesman problem (TSP), distribution (QAP), scheduling problems (JSP), etc., made a series of good results. Although the ant colony algorithm is not long, but preliminary studies have shown that the ant colony algorithm in solving complex optimization problems (in particular, discrete optimization problem) has certain advantages, that it is a promising approach. The main features of ant colony algorithm is: positive feedback, distributed computing. Positive feedback process so that it can quickly find a better solution of the problem distributed easy-to-parallel implementation, it would be combined with the heuristic algorithm, easy to find better solutions.
