蚁群算法及其实现方法研究

蚁群算法是一种相对较新的启发式方法，通过模拟蚂蚁的觅食行为解决问题，是目前昆虫算法中较成功的例子.蚁群算法的本质是一种并行的、自组织的算法，它可应用于更好地组织大数目实体的相互作用过程，如货郎担问题、车辆绕径问题、排程问题等。该文简述了蚁群算法的起源和发展，总结了蚁群算法的特点和不足及针对这些不足提出的各种改进方法，并介绍了和蚁群算法相关的几种具体应用。最后，文章探讨了蚁群算法研究中仍存在的问题和以后的发展方向。

Research on the Ant Colony Optimization and Its Implementation Strategy

The Ant Colony Optimization(ACO) is a relatively new meta-heuristic algorithm and a successful paradigm of all the algorithms which take advantage of the insects' behavior. The ACO solves problems through mimicking ants' foraging behavior. Essentially, the ACO is a parallel and self-organizing algorithm, which can be applied to improve the management and control of large numbers of interacting entities such as TSP(Travelling Salesman Problem), Vehicle Routing Problem and Scheduling Problems. This article presents the origin and enrichment of the ACO, summarizes this algorithm's advantages,disadvantages,methods to overcome these disadvantages, and introduces some applications of the ACO. After discussing several problems existing in the research,this article puts forward the research foreground of ACO.
