Abstract

Ant colony algorithm is one of the representative methods of swarm intelligence. It is a kind of simulation optimization algorithm. Because it has many good qualities, many NP - hard problems have been solved successfully by using it. This article first expounds the basic theory of ant colony algorithm and makes the traveling salesman problem (TSP) an example to illustrate the basic model of ant colony algorithm. Then it summarized its application in static and dynamic combination optimization problem. Finally, the article makes the prospect of the direction of ant colony algorithm in research and application.
