摘要
We describe an ant algorithm for solving constraint problems (Solnon 2002, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation 6(4): 347-357). We devise a number of variants and carry out experiments. Our preliminary results suggest that the best way to deposit pheromone and the best heuristics for state transitions may differ from current practice.
