In this paper, a method of an improved ant algorithm called PSAA (power-saving ant algorithm) is proposed for ad hoc networks to prolong the life-time of ad hoc networks as long as possible. The ...

Like an ant colony on the search for food, the algorithm screens through the molecular building blocks for components with the desired properties.

Routing algorithm design and energy distribution are the key problems in wireless sensor networks, so this paper proposed an energy-balanced ant based routing algorithm, which can balance the energy ...

The Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm is a metaheuristic nature-inspired technique for solving various combinatorial optimization problems. The shortest-path problem is an important ...

Researchers from Xinjiang University have developed an improved ant colony algorithm for dynamic job allocation in agricultural machinery, reducing operational costs and improving efficiency in ...
