Ant colony system: a cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem
TL;DR: The results show that the ACS outperforms other nature-inspired algorithms such as simulated annealing and evolutionary computation, and it is concluded comparing ACS-3-opt, a version of the ACS augmented with a local search procedure, to some of the best performing algorithms for symmetric and asymmetric TSPs.

Ant Colony Optimization
TL;DR: Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals as discussed by the authors In particular, ants have inspired a number of methods and techniques among which the most studied and the most successful is the general purpose optimization technique known as ant colony optimization.
Book
Being There: Putting Brain, Body, and World Together Again
TL;DR: Clark as mentioned in this paper argues that the mental has been treated as a realm that is distinct from the body and the world, and argues that a key to understanding brains is to see them as controllers of embodied activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ant algorithms for discrete optimization
TL;DR: An overview of recent work on ant algorithms, that is, algorithms for discrete optimization that took inspiration from the observation of ant colonies' foraging behavior, and the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic is presented.
Book ChapterDOI
Ant Colony Optimization
TL;DR: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a stochastic local search method that has been inspired by the pheromone trail laying and following behavior of some ant species as discussed by the authors.

Social Modification of the Activity of Ants in Nest-Building
TL;DR: My experimental study of general social phenomena in ants was started in the spring of 1936 by a series of analytic and synthetic studies of their nest-building activities, and the results obtained are reported in two separate papers.

Interattraction olfactive chezCalotermes flavicollis I. Pouvoir attractif des larves a l'égard des différentes castes
TL;DR: Olfaction takes a part in the reciprocal attraction existing between the different individuals in the colonies of Calotermes flavicollis; Larvæ are very responsive to the smell of other larvæ and to the density of grouping and Nymphs of the 7th exhibit a higher level of response.
