The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a metaheuristic nature-inspired technique for solving various combinatorial optimization problems. The shortest-path problem is an important ...

Ant colony optimization has many applications in the real world. For example, virtual ants have help to improve vehicle and communications network routing.

This paper proposes the use of a systematic approach that entails the ant colony optimization algorithm for identifying the best task sequence in support of processing time analyses. The applicability ...
