An ant-based algorithm for coloring graphs
This paper presents an ant-based algorithm for the graph coloring problem. An important difference that distinguishes this algorithm from previous ant algorithms is the manner in which ants are used in the algorithm. Unlike previous ant algorithms where each ant colors the entire graph, each ant in this algorithm colors a small portion of the graph using only local information. These individual...
متن کاملAn Ant System Algorithm for Coloring Graphs
This paper presents an ant system algorithm for the graph coloring problem. This ant system algorithm has several new features compared to previous ant system algorithms for the coloring problem. The main idea of the algorithm is for a colony of ants to color the graph, in which ants use its knowledge about the local neighborhood, recently visited nodes, and information stored at each vertex. F...
متن کاملA New Ant Algorithm for Graph Coloring
Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, . . . , k}) to each vertex of V so that no edge has both endpoints with the same color. We describe in this paper a new ant algorithm for the k-coloring problem. Computational experiments give evidence that our algorithm is competitive with the existing ant algorithms ...
متن کاملAn Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for Network Vulnerability Analysis
Intruders often combine exploits against multiple vulnerabilities in order to break into the system. Each attack scenario is a sequence of exploits launched by an intruder that leads to an undesirable state such as access to a database, service disruption, etc. The collection of possible attack scenarios in a computer network can be represented by a directed graph, called network attack gra...
متن کاملAn Approximation Algorithm for Coloring Circular-arc Graphs
Consider families of arcs on a circle. The minimum coloring problem on arc families has been shown to be NP-hard by Garey, Johnson, Miller and Papadimitriou. It is easy to show that 2q colors are sufficient for any arc family F, where q is the size of a maximum clique in F and 3q/2 colors are necessary for some families. It has long been open problem to find a coloring algorithm which uses no m...
