Network dismantling, which aims at finding the optimal node sequence whose removal will dismantle the whole network effectively, remains as a hot topic in the research area of complex networks and systems. In this study, an improved network dismantling strategy based on ant-colony optimization algorithm is proposed. Through large quantities of numerical simulations, compared with several classical network dismantling methods, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified. Current results can provide a new perspective for us to comprehend the complexity and optimization of complex networked systems.

For solving dynamic optimization problems of chemical process with numerical methods, a novel algorithm named iterative ant-colony algorithm (IACA), the main idea of which was to iteratively execute ant-colony algorithm and gradually approximate the optimal control profile, was developed in this paper. The first step of IACA was to discretize time interval and control region to make the continuous dynamic optimization problem be a discrete problem. ant-colony algorithm was then used to seek the best control profile of the discrete dynamic system. At last, the iteration based on region reduction strategy was employed to get more accurate results and enhance robustness of this algorithm. Iterative ant-colony algorithm is easy to implement. The results of the case studies demonstrated the feasibility and robustness of this novel method. IACA approach can be regarded a,,;a reliable and useful optimization tool when gradient is not available. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The problem of scheduling on a single machine is considered in this paper with the objective of minimizing the sum of weighted tardiness of jobs. A new ant-colony optimization (ACO) algorithm, called fast ACO (FACO), is proposed and analysed for solving the single-machine scheduling problem. By considering the benchmark problems available in the literature for analysing the performance of algorithms for scheduling on a single machine with the consideration of weighted tardiness of jobs, we validate the appropriateness of the proposed local-search schemes and parameter settings used in the FACO. We also present a comparison of the requirements of CPU time for solving the single-machine total-weighted tardiness problem by the FACO and the existing algorithms.

Routing protocol is mainly responsible for seeking optimized path between source node and destination node and forwarding data package along the optimized path in a right way, which is a core link in wireless sensor network. In this thesis, a research on WSN routing algorithm based on ant-colony algorithm is done, targeting the features of WSN and on the basis of the analysis of classic routing protocol. Comparison and analysis of the path and convergence rate of cluster head node are done by means of emulated analysis, which is to some extent innovative and significant to research.

In the paper, a similarity based ant-colony algorithm (SACO) is proposed for the permutation flowshop scheduling problems with total flowtime minimization, which is known as NP-hard. By applying the space mapping method which is testified to be reasonable, it is proved theoretically that the deposit factor p has hardly impact on the ACO evolutionary availability, and p = 0.5 is reasonable for the ACO. Similarity is defined to discover the promising sequence for solution improvement. A new solution construction method is proposed, which is stated to be better than that of another very effective ant-colony algorithm. Experimental results show that SACO outperforms the other compared seven algorithms, including three rather recent effective algorithms and four famous ant-colony algorithms. The similarity indeed helps the SACO to find the promising sequence for solution improvement, which makes the SACO be effective.

The basis of automatic fault extraction is seismic attributes, such as the coherence cube which is always used to identify a fault by the minimum value. The biggest challenge in automatic fault extraction is noise, including that of seismic data. However, a fault has a better spatial continuity in certain direction, which makes it quite different from noise. Considering this characteristic, a modified ant-colony algorithm is introduced into automatic fault identification and tracking, where the gradient direction and direction consistency are used as constraints. Numerical model test results show that this method is feasible and effective in automatic fault extraction and noise suppression. The application of field data further illustrates its validity and superiority.

In this work, the flowshop scheduling problem is considered with the objective of minimising the completion-time variance (CTV) of jobs, and an antcolony Optimisation (ACO) algorithm is presented. Two implementations of the Modified antcolony Optimisation algorithm (MACO-I and MACO-II) are proposed to solve the permutation flowshop scheduling problem. The proposed ant-colony-algorithm implementations have been tested on 90 benchmark flowshop scheduling problems. The solutions yielded by the proposed MACO implementations are compared with various algorithms and with the best CTV of jobs reported in the literature. The proposed MACO implementations are found to perform very well in minimising the chosen performance measure.

The problem of scheduling in permutation flowshops with the objective of minimizing the completion-time variance of jobs is considered and solved by making use of ant-colony optimization (ACO) algorithms. ACO is an algorithmic approach, inspired by the foraging behavior of real ants, which can be applied to solve combinatorial optimization problems. A new ant-colony algorithm (NACO) has been developed in this paper to solve the flowshop, scheduling problem. The objective is to minimize the completion-time variance of jobs. Two existing ant-colony algorithms and the proposed ant-colony algorithm have been compared with an existing heuristic for scheduling with the objective of minimizing the completion-time variance of jobs. It is found that the proposed ant-colony algorithm gives promising and better results, on an average, as compared to those solutions given by the existing ant-colony algorithms and the existing heuristic for the permutation flowshop scheduling problem under study.

Focused on the disadvantage of classical Euclidian distance in data clustering analysis, we propose an improved distance calculation formula, which describes the local compactness and global connectivity between data points. Furthermore, we improve ant-colony clustering algorithm by using the improved distance calculation formula. Theoretical analysis and experiments show that this method is more efficient and has the ability to identify complex non-convex clusters.
