Scientists found that ants and other natural systems use optimization algorithms similar to those used by engineered systems, including the Internet. These algorithms invest incrementally more ...

Scientists are using algorithms based on ant behavior to optimize the performance of robots in a parts warehouse. When it comes to groups that work together to get a job done, ants have pretty ...

Harvester ants maintain complex nests built several metres underground, with an entire colony of 10,000 ants lasting between 20 and 30 years – matching the lifespan of a queen ant, whose death ...

New Computer Simulator Helps Design Military Strategies Based On Ants' Movements Date: November 7, 2009 ... To that end, the scientists have used the so called 'ant colony optimization algorithm ...

Although many examples of biomimicry exist, one striking case study is the design of path-finding and optimization computer technologies inspired by naturally occurring ant colony behavior.

Ant-colony optimization algorithm is an evolutionary learning algorithm which could be applied to solve the complex problems. Applying the idea of ant colony optimization into network ...
