Game-Method Model for Field Fires
AbstractEvery year about 45000 forest fires occur in Europe, burning half a million hectares of land, some of which protected zones with rare species of the flora and fauna. The existing methods for...
View ArticleGeneralized Nets as Tools for Modeling of the Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms
AbstractAnt Colony Optimization (ACO) has been used successfully to solve hard combinatorial optimization problems. This metaheuristic method is inspired by the foraging behavior of ant colonies, which...
View ArticleStart Strategies of ACO Applied on Subset Problems
AbstractAnt Colony Optimization is a stochastic search method that mimic the social behavior of real ants colonies, which manage to establish the shortest routs to feeding sources and back. Such...

AbstractAnt Colony Optimization (ACO) has been used successfully to solve hard combinatorial optimization problems. This metaheuristic method is inspired by the foraging behavior of ant colonies, which...
View ArticleIntuitionistic Fuzzy Estimation of the Ant Colony Optimization Starting Points
AbstractThe ability of ant colonies to form paths for carrying food is rather fascinating. The problem is solved collectively by the whole colony. This ability is explained by the fact that ants...

AbstractOntology engineering, despite considerable progress, is still relatively new and dynamically evolving discipline. As a result, the universal standards for creating and/or editing an ontology,...
View ArticleAn Ant Algorithm for the Partition Graph Coloring Problem
AbstractIn this paper we propose an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm for the partition graph coloring problem (PGCP). Given an undirected graph \(G =(V,E)\), whose nodes are partition into a...
