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.
