Ant colony optimization algorithm is a way to be used to find the optimal solutions is enormous, the number of ants on the path, which will lead to reduced the network node on the path energy drastically. The wireless sensor network is a large number of tiny sensor nodes with communication and computing power. Using wireless sensor networks collaboration to perception, the perception of the obj...

Research on a new metaheuristic for optimization is often initially focused on proof-of-concept applications. It is only after experimental work has shown the practical interest of the method that researchers try to deepen their understanding of the method’s functioning not only through more and more sophisticated experiments but also by means of an effort to build a theory. Tackling questions ...

Most of the research on job shop scheduling problem are concerned with minimization of a single objective. However, the real world applications of job shop scheduling problems are involved in optimizing multiple objectives. Therefore, in recent years ant colony optimization algorithms have been proposed to solve job shop scheduling problems with multiple objectives. In this paper, some recent m...

In allusion to the deficiencies of the ant colony optimization algorithm for solving the complex problem, the genetic algorithm is introduced into the ant colony optimization algorithm in order to propose a novel hybrid optimization (NHGACO) algorithm in this paper. In the NHGACO algorithm, the genetic algorithm is used to update the global optimal solution and the ant colony optimization algor...

Research efforts in metaheuristics have shown that an intelligent incorporation of more classical optimization techniques in metaheuristics can be very beneficial. In this paper, we combine the metaheuristic ant colony optimization with dynamic programming for the application to the NP-hard k-cardinality tree problem. Given an undirected graph G with node and/or edge weights, the problem consis...

To solve the problem of vehicle routing problem under capacity limitation, this paper puts forward a novel method of logistics distribution route optimization based on genetic algorithm and ant colony optimization algorithm (GA-ACO). On the first stage, improved genetic algorithm with a good global optimization searching ability is used to find the feasible routes quickly. On the second stage, ...
