All IGI Global Scholarly Journals Shift to "Digital Preferred" Format
In response to the overwhelming demand for electronic content coupled with the mission to decrease the overall environmental impacts of print production and distribution, all IGI Global journals will shift into a digital preferred model for the 2022 volume year. Under this model, journals will become primarily available under electronic format and articles will be immediately available upon acceptance. Print subscriptions and print + electronic subscriptions will still be available, but for the print version, all articles that are published during the volume year will become available at the end of the year in a single (1) printed volume.

What is Ant Colony Optimization
1.
In the field of computer sciences and operations research, the
ant colony optimization
algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic method for resolving computational issues which can be decreased to resulting best routes via graphs. Artificial
Ant
s stand for multi-agent technique which is inspired from the actual behavior of real
ant
s.

2.
Stochastic optimisation procedure imitating the
ant
foraging behaviour. Method allows to visualize the path through the sequence space.

3.
Ant Colony Optimization
or ACO is a Swarm Intelligence technique inspired by the ability of real
ant
colonies to efficiently organize the foraging behavior of the
colony
using chemical pheromone trails as a means of communication between the
ant
s.
Learn more in: Bio-Inspired Grid Resource Management
4.
ACO studies artificial systems that take inspiration from the behavior of real
ant
colonies and which are used to solve discrete
optimization
problems. ACO is a population-based approach to the solution of combinatorial
optimization
problems. The basic ACO idea is that a large number of simple artificial agents are able to build good solutions to hard combinatorial
optimization
problems via low-level based communications.

5.
A probabilistic method that searches for the optimal path that mimics the
ant
s while finding the way from food source to nest.

6.
The
ant colony optimization
algorithm (ACO) is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs.

7.
Constructive meta-heuristic based on
ant
behavior when searching for the food.

8.
ACO is another popular bio inspired evolutionary algorithm inspired by the behavior of
ant
s in their search for the shortest paths to food source.

9.
The
Ant Colony Optimization
(ACO) is a heuristic algorithm that is inspired from the food foraging behavior of
ant
s. Dorigo introduced the first ACO system in his PhD thesis in 1992.

10.
A non-traditional
optimization
technique for solving computational problems that searches for an optimal path in a graph, based on the social behaviour of
ant
s seeking a path between their
colony
and food source.
Learn more in: Ant Colony Algorithm for Single Stage Supply Chain
11.
It indicates a computing technique used for
optimization
which is inspired by the movement of
ant
s in search of food in nature.

12.
A probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. They are inspired by the self-organizing abilities of real
ant
s.

13.
Algorithm that imitates the behavior of
ant
s when trying to find the shortest path probabilistically between the
colony
and a food source.

14.
Ant colony optimization
(ACO) is a population-based metaheuristic that can be used to find approximate solutions to difficult
optimization
problems. In ACO, a set of software agents called artificial
ant
s search for good solutions to a given
optimization
problem.

15.
Ant Colony Optimization
involves a set of algorithms modelled on the foraging behaviour of a
colony
of natural
ant
s.

16.
A swarm intelligence
optimization
technique inspired by the behavior of
ant
s when searching for efficient routes for food sources.
