Abstract

Ant colony optimization (ACO), which has been based on the feeding behavior of ants, has a powerful solution searching ability. However, since processing must be repeated many times, the computation process also requires a very long time. In this chapter, we discuss a new ACO algorithm that incorporates adaptive greedy mechanism to shorten the processing time. The proposed algorithm switches two selection techniques adaptively according to generation. In addition, the new pheromone update rules are introduced in order to control the balance of the intensification and diversification. Experiments using benchmark data prove the validity of the proposed algorithm.
