Multicast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony
Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...
متن کاملAnt-mound Effects on Two Adjacent Prairies: Virgin and Plowed
Mound-building Fmmica ants may be important biotic factors within prairie restorations because mounds found in virgin prairies can exist for decades, with densities up to 1,148 mounds/ha (465 mounds/acre). Research on the effects of Formica ant mounds on a virgin and an adjacent restored prairie (treatments) was established in 2003 near Olathe, Kansas; and it was expected that percent soil mois...
متن کاملDynamics of an ant-ant obligate mutualism: colony growth, density dependence and frequency dependence.
In insect societies, worker vs. queen development (reproductive caste) is typically governed by environmental factors, but many Pogonomyrmex seed-harvester ants exhibit strict genetic caste determination, resulting in an obligate mutualism between two reproductively isolated lineages. Same-lineage matings produce fertile queens while alternate-lineage matings produce sterile workers. Because ne...
متن کاملAn Ant Colony Optimization Classifier System for Bacterial Growth
Internet Electron. J. Mol. Des. 2003, 1, 000–000 Abstract Motivation. Ant colony optimization is one of the most recent nature-inspired metaheuristics. The algorithm mimics cooperative foraging behavior of real life ants, has already exhibited superior performance in solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this work, we have explored the searching capabilities of this metaheuristic for ...
متن کاملMC-ANT: A Multi-Colony Ant Algorithm
In this paper we propose an ant colony optimization variant where several independent colonies try to simultaneously solve the same problem. The approach includes a migration mechanism that ensures the exchange of information between colonies and a mutation operator that aims to adjust the parameter settings during the optimization. The proposed method was applied to several benchmark instances...
