ACO Test Center (ACP-TC), which is a global planner with two algorithms,
the Simple Ant Colony Optimization Meta-Heuristic (SACO-MH), and a
modifi cation of the original proposal named SACOdm, where ‘d’ stands
for distance and ‘m’ for memory. In this version, the algorithm is able
to infl uence the decision making process based on the existing distance
between the source and target nodes, the ants can remember the visited
nodes in order to avoid stagnation. The new characteristics added to the
SACO a performance increase (speed up) of 10x most of the times.
In the SACOdm, the original formula ...
