摘要
This paper presents the application of an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm approach for communications networks design problem. We explore the use of ACO's for solving a network optimization problem, the degree-constrained minimum spanning tree problem (d-MST), which is a NP-Hard problem. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated through two kinds of data set: structured hard (SHRD) complete graphs and misleading (M-graph) complete graphs. Empirical results show that ACO performs competitively with other approaches based on evolutionary algorithm (EA) on certain instance set problem.
