The adaptive Web server based on ant behavior

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to estabhsh an adaptive Web site, which is inspired by the ant colonies foraging behavior. In this approach, artificial ants metaphorically guide users' activity and adaptively mark the most significant links, by means of the shortest route to target node. By the simulated experiment, we study those factors that influence Web user's behaviors, which can be useful for further theoretical research and algorithm realization. © 2005 by International Federation for Information Processing.
