Abstract: Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a promising new approach to combinatorial optimization. Here ACO is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). Using a genetic algorithm (GA) to find the best set of parameters, we demonstrate the good performance of ACO in finding good solutions to the TSP.
