An Implementation of Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm Using Java

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Ant colony optimization algorithm is a very important one among swarm intelligence algorithms. Because Java is an advanced object-oriented and platform-independent computer programming language, in order to use this algorithm in a platform-independent and flexible way, this paper introduces a Java-based implementation package of it. This package includes some sub-packages. There are several classes which are all implemented in Java using object-oriented technology in each sub-package. Users can utilize these classes on computers installed the corresponding Java runtime environment to solve some problems. After the test on two travelling salesman problems, these classes performed properly and efficiently, and the good effect was received.
