Where can I learn more about “ant colony” optimizations?

Question

I\'ve been reading things here and there for a while now about using an \"ant colony\" model as a heuristic approach to optimizing various types of algorithms. However, I have

Answer 1

The best resource for these topics is Google scholar. Ive been working on Ant Colony Optimization algorithms for a while, here are some good papers:

• Ant Colony Optimization - A New Metaheuristic
• Ant Colony Optimization - Artificial Ants as a Computational Intelligence Technique

Just search for "Ant Colony" on google scholar.

Also, search for papers published by Marco Dorigo.
