A Knowledge-Based Ant Colony Optimization for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems

A Knowledge-Based Ant Colony Optimization (KBACO) algorithm is proposed in this paper for the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP). KBACO algorithm provides an effective integration between Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) model and knowledge model. In the KBACO algorithm, knowledge model learns some available knowledge from the optimization of ACO, and then applies the existing knowledge to guide the current heuristic searching. The performance of KBACO was evaluated by a large range of benchmark instances taken from literature and some generated by ourselves. Final experimental results indicate that the proposed KBACO algorithm outperforms some current approaches in the quality of schedules.

Energy efficient teaching-learning-based optimization for the discrete routing problem in wireless sensor networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are composed of sensor nodes, having limited energy resources and low processing capability. Accordingly, major challenges are involved in WSNs Routing. Thus, in many use cases, routing is considered as an NP-hard optimization problem. Many routing protocols are based on metaheuristics, such as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Despite the fact that metaheuristics have provided elegant solutions, they still suffer from complexity concerns and difficulty of parameter tuning. In this paper, we propose a new routing approach based on Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) which is a recent and robust method, consisting on two essential phases: Teacher and Learner. As TLBO was proposed for continuous optimization problems, this work presents the first use of TLBO for the discrete problem of WSN routing. The approach is well founded theoretically as well as detailed algorithmically. Experimental results show that our approach allows obtaining lower energy consumption which leads to a better WSN lifetime. Our method is also compared to some typical routing methods; PSO approach, advanced ACO approach, Improved Harmony based approach (IHSBEER) and Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing protocol, to illustrate TLBO’s routing efficiency.     

A modified ant system to achieve better balance between intensification and diversification for the traveling salesman problem

This paper presents a new variant of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). ACO has been successfully used in many combinatorial optimization problems. However, ACO has a problem in reaching the global optimal solutions for TSPs, and the algorithmic performance of ACO tends to deteriorate significantly as the problem size increases. In the proposed modification, adaptive tour construction and pheromone updating strategies are embedded into the conventional Ant System (AS), to achieve better balance between intensification and diversification in the search process. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested on randomly generated data and well-known existing data. The computational results indicate the proposed modification is effective and efficient for the TSP and competitive with Ant Colony System (ACS), Max-Min Ant System (MMAS), and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Meta-Heuristic.

Ant colony optimization

Swarm intelligence is a relatively new approach to problem solving that takes inspiration from the social behaviors of insects and of other animals. 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. Ant colony optimization (ACO) takes inspiration from the foraging behavior of some ant species. These ants deposit pheromone on the ground in order to mark some favorable path that should be followed by other members of the colony. Ant colony optimization exploits a similar mechanism for solving optimization problems. From the early nineties, when the first ant colony optimization algorithm was proposed, ACO attracted the attention of increasing numbers of researchers and many successful applications are now available. Moreover, a substantial corpus of theoretical results is becoming available that provides useful guidelines to researchers and practitioners in further applications of ACO. The goal of this article is to introduce ant colony optimization and to survey its most notable applications     

A survey on nature-inspired optimization algorithms with fuzzy logic for dynamic parameter adaptation

Metaheuristic optimization algorithms have become a popular choice for solving complex problems which are otherwise difficult to solve by traditional methods. However, these methods have the problem of the parameter adaptation and many researchers have proposed modifications using fuzzy logic to solve this problem and obtain better results than the original methods. In this study a comprehensive review is made of the optimization techniques in which fuzzy logic is used to dynamically adapt some important parameters in these methods. In this paper, the survey mainly covers the optimization methods of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), which in the last years have been used with fuzzy logic to improve the performance of the optimization methods.

基于选路优化的改进蚁群算法

蚁群算法在处理大规模优化问题时效率很低。为此对蚁群算法提出了基于选路优化的两点改进:(1)引入选路优化策略,减少了算法中蚁群的选路次数,显著提高了算法的执行效率。(2)在选路操作中,只根据当前城市的前C个距离最近的且未经过城市为候选城市计算选择概率,从而减少单个蚂蚁选路的计算量。尤其对于以往较难处理的大规模TSP问题,改进算法在执行效率上有明显的优势。模拟实验结果表明改进算法较之基本蚁群算法在收敛速度有明显提高。     

基于混合优化算法的最大独立集问题求解

蚁群优化算法（ACO）的正反馈机制使其具有强大的局部搜索性能,但其全局优化性的优劣在很大程度上与挥发系数的选择有关,如选择得不合适则易将使算法陷入局部最优,而禁忌搜索算法（TS）则具有强大的全局优化性能。为了弥补单一ACO算法的局限性,将ACO算法与TS算法组合起来,提出了基于TS和ACO算法的混合优化算法HTSACO,并将该混合优化算法用于求解最大独立集问题。实验表明：与标准蚁群优化算法相比,该算法显示出了很高的全局优化性和计算效率。

奖惩蚁群算法

由于传统蚁群算法所采用的是随机概率搜索策略,收敛速度慢是其主要问题。为了提高算法的收敛速度,这里提出一种带奖惩策略的蚁群算法（PPACO）。新算法中,每次循环中发现的较优解都被挑选出来加以奖励,而普通解则被惩罚,这样就加快了较优路径和普通路径上信息素的差异;另外,为了不使这种差异对算法产生过多的影响,所有路径上的信息素都被限制在一定的范围[τmin,τmax]内,同时,信息素的挥发系数被设为相对较高值。通过典型模拟实验证明,新算法对解决复杂组合优化问题非常有效。
