Social insect behavior such as is found in ant colonies serves as a powerful model to generate advanced algorithms in solutions to highly complex optimization problems. Some types or areas where this has been attempted with success include applications involving:
- Sequential ordering problem
- Parallel implementations
- Quadratic assignment problem
- Vehicle routing problem
- Symmetric and asymmetric traveling salesman problem
- Scheduling problems
- Graph coloring problem
- Partitioning problems
- Telecommunications nets
Some of these solutions involve:
- emergent behaviors
- automata
- collaborative elements
