Co-operative improvement for a combinatorial optimization algorithm

Abstract

These last years a new model of co-operative algorithm ap- peared, the model of ants colonies. This paper is dedicated to the integration of an ants colony's based co-operation method, in another algorithm, here research tabu, opposite the rough use of the computing power placed at the disposal on the current networks. The algorithms that we present are applied to the resolution of quadratic assignment problems (QAP).
