Applications of Ant Colony Optimization and its Variants

This book explains the basic ideas behind several variants of ant colony optimization (ACO) and shows how they may be used in real-world settings like manufacturing, engineering design, and health care. Marco Dorigo proposed ACO for the first time, and it has been used to solve a variety of optimization problems. This book presents the latest developments of ACO.
