Abstract

The ant colony algorithm was first introduced by M. Dorigo, V. Maniezzo and A. Colorni in 1991. This algorithm is based on the behavior of a real ant colony when searching for food. The main area of application of the algorithm is the problem of combinatorial optimization. This paper describes the implementation of the algorithm, setting the parameters and considers its effectiveness in solving the job shop problem.
