The Ant Colony System (ACS) is a variant of Ant colony optimization algorithm which is well-known in Traveling Salesman Problem. This paper proposed a hybrid method based on genetic algorithm (GA) and ant colony system (ACS), called GACS, to solve traffic routing problem. In the GACS, we use genetic algorithm to optimize the ACS parameters that aims to attain the shortest trips and time through new functions to help the ants to update global and local pheromones. Our experiments are performed by the GACS framework which is developed from VANETsim with the ability of real map loading from open street map project, and updating traffic light in real-time. The obtained results show that our framework acquired higher performance than A-Star and classical ACS algorithms in terms of length of the best global tour and the time for trip.

It is one of the known methods to obtain the optimal solution using the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which is a combination optimization problem. In this paper, we solve the TSP problem by proposing an improved new ant colony optimization algorithm that combines genetic algorithm mutations in existing ant colony optimization algorithms to solve TSP problems in many cities. The new ant colony optimization algorithm provides the opportunity to move easily fall on the issue of developing local optimum values of the existing ant colony optimization algorithm to global optimum value through a new path through mutation. The new path will update the pheromone through an ant colony optimization algorithm. The renewed new pheromone serves to derive the global optimal value from what could have fallen to the local optimal value. Experimental results show that the existing algorithms and the new algorithms are superior to those of existing algorithms in the search for optimum values of newly improved algorithms.

This paper presents and efficient algorithm for the loss minimization by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in distribution systems. Ant colony algorithm is multi-agent system in which the behaviour of each single agent, called artificial ant, is inspired by the behaviour of real ants. Ant colony algorithm is suitable for combinatiorial optimization problem as network reconfiguration because it use the long term memory, called pheromone, and heuristic information with the property of the problem. The proposed methodology with some adoptions have been applied to improve the computation time and convergence property. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology using a KEPCO's distribution system.

조합 최적화 문제인 Traveling Salesman problems(TSP)을 Genetic Algorithm(GA)[3]과 Local Search Heuristic Algorithm[8]을 이용하여 접근하는 것은 최적해를 구하기 위해 널리 알려진 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 TSP문제를 해결하기 위한 또 다른 접근법으로, 다수의 Ant들이 Tour들을 찾는 ACS(Ant Colony System) Algorithms[4][6][7]을 소개하고, ACS에서 Global Optima를 찾는 과정에서, 이미 이루어져 있는 Ant들의 Tour결과들을 서로 비교한다. Global Updating Rule에 의해 Global Best Tour 에 속해 있는 각 Ant Tour의 edge들을 update하는 ACS Algorithm에, 각 루프마다 Ant Tour들을 우성과 열성 인자들로 구분하고, 각각의 우성과 열성 인자들에 대해서 Global Updating Rule에 기반한 가중치를 적용(Weight Updating Rule)하므로서 기존의 ACS Algorithm보다 효율적으로 최적 해를 찾아내는 방법에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

조합 최적화 문제를 풀기 위한 개미 알고리즘(Ant Algorithm)은 실제 개미 집단의 행동을 모방하여 만들어진 것이다. Ant Colony System(ACS)은 여러 유형의 개미 알고리즘 중 비교적 최근에 소개된 것이다. ACS의 설계를 위해 순회 외판원 문제(Traveling Salesman Problem, TSP)를 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. ACS를 다양한 조합 최적화 문제에 적용할 때 순회 외판원 문제에 사용된 ACS의 파라미터와 전략을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 조합 최적화 문제들 중 하나인 멀티캐스팅 라우팅 문제를 해결하기 위해 ACS를 이용하였다. 멀티캐스트 라우팅은 데이터를 하나의 송신자에서 여러 수신자들로 보내기 때문에 모든 노드를 포함하는 순회 외판원 문제와는 속성이 다르고, 송신자에서 각 수신자에 하나의 최단경로를 설정하는 문제와도 다른 속성을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티캐스트 라우팅에 ACS를 적용하기 위해 알고리즘의 동작을 수정하고, 수정한 ACS의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 최적의 전략과 파라미터를 설계한다.

개미 집단 시스템(Ant Colony System ACS) 알고리즘은 조합 최적화 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 메타 휴리스틱 방법이다. 이것은 그리디 탐색뿐만 아니라 긍정적 피드백에 의한 탐색을 이용한 모집단에 근거한 접근법으로 조합 최적화 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안되었다. 최근까지 인접한 노드($v_i, v_j$)가 같은 색을 갖지 않도록 그래프 G의 노드 V에 색을 배정하는 문제인 그래프 착색 문제의 최적 해를 구하기 위하여 다양한 접근 방식들과 해법들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 그래프 착색 문제의 해법으로 잘 알려진 그리디 알고리즘, 시뮬레이티드어넬링, 타부 탐색 등이 아닌 개미 집단 시스템 알고리즘으로 해법을 구하는 방법인 ANTCOL 알고리즘을 소개하고, ANTCOL을 해결하기 위해 제안된 기존의 생성 함수들(ANT_Random ANT_LF, ANT_SL, ANT_DSATUR, ANT_RLF)과, 본 논문에서 새롭게 제안된 방법으로 RLF에 무작위 기법을 적용한 XRLF를 생성 함수로 사용한 ANT_XRLF 방법과 ANT_XRLF에 재검색을 추가한 방법(ANT_XRLF_R)의 그래프 착색 결과 및 실행 시간을 비교, 분석하여 제안된 방법이 더 빠르게 수렴할 수 있음을 실험을 통해 알 수 있었다.

Connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system is an important topic in redundancy design of the complex system reliability and it's maintenance policy. Previous studies applied Monte Carlo simulation and genetic, simulated annealing algorithms to tackle the difficulty of maintenance policy problem. These algorithms suggested most suitable maintenance cycle to optimize maintenance pattern of connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system. However, genetic algorithm is required long execution time relatively and simulated annealing has improved computational time but rather poor solutions. In this paper, we propose the ant colony optimization approach for connected-(r,s)-out of-(m,n) : F system that determines maintenance cycle and minimum unit cost. Computational results prove that ant colony optimization algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm, simulated annealing and tabu search in both execution time and quality of solution.

This paper apollos an ant colony system (ACS) for the vehicle routing problem with time window (VRPTW). The VRPTW is a generalization of the VRP where the service of a customer can begin within the time windows defined by the earliest and latest times when the customer will permit the start of service. The ACS has been applied effectively in geographical environment such as TSP or VRP by meta-heuristic that imitate an ant's biologic special duality in route construction, 3 saving based ACS (SB-ACS) is introduced and its solution is improved by local search. Through iterative precesses, the SB-ACS is shown to drive the best solution. The algorithm has been tested on 56 Solomon benchmarking problems and compared to the best-known solutions on literature. Experimental results shows that SB-ACS algorithm could obtain food solution in total travel distance minimization.

This paper studies a vehicle routing problem variant which considers customers to require simultaneous delivery and pick-up under time windows(VRPSDP-TW). The objective of this paper is to minimize the total travel distance of routes that satisfy both the delivery and pick-up demand. We propose a heuristic algorithm for solving the VRPSDP-TW, based on the ant colony system(ACS). In route construction, an insertion algorithm based ACS is applied and the interim solution is improved by local search. Through iterative processes, the heuristic algorithm drives the best solution. Experiments are implemented to evaluate a performance of the algorithm on some test instances from literature.

The problem of assigning customers to satellite channels is a difficult combinatorial optimization problem and is NP-complete. For this combinatorial optimization problem, standard optimization methods take a large computation time and so genetic algorithms (GA) and ant colony optimization (ACO) can be used to obtain the best and/or optimal assignment of customers to satellite channels. In this paper, we present a comparative study of GA and ACO to this problem. Various issues related to genetic algorithms approach to this problem, such as solution representation, selection methods, genetic operators and repair of invalid solutions are presented. We also discuss an ACO for this problem. In ACO methodology, three strategies, ACO with only ranking, ACO with only max-min ant system (MMAS), and ACO with both ranking and MMAS, are considered. A comparison of these two approaches (i,e., GA and ACO) with the standard optimization method is presented to show the advantages of these approaches in terms of computation time.
