Ant Search

Ant Search (AS) is a form of distributed problem solving technique that is based upon the foraging behaviour of real ants. The original work on AS was due to Marco Dorigo who applied the technique to the Travelling Salesman and Quadratic Assignment problems. More recently the ideas of AS have been applied to routing in communication networks and scheduling. The most comprehensive pages on AS are maintained by Marco Dorigo here.

As the body of AS literature grows, this page will be updated to reflect the growing interest in this technique.
