Ant Colony Optimisation for Continuous Domains with Aggregation Pheromones Metaphor
Shigeyoshi Tsutsui · 2004
This paper describes an aggregation pheromone system (APS), which is an extension of ACO for continuous domains, using the collective behavior of individuals that communicate using aggregation pheromones. APS is tested on several test functions. Results show APS could solve real- parameter optimization problems fairly well. The sensitivity of control parameters of APS is also studied.
