Various forms of swarm intelligence are inspired by

social behavior of insects that live collectively. AntNet is a form

of such social algorithms, but it has a scalability problem with

growing network size. If every node sends...

Mutualism is an interaction in which two species provide benefits for each other. Ant-aphid associations play an important role on the biological control of aphid pests, as ants’ defence against natural enemies of aphids may reduce efficiency...

Mutualistic interaction between aphids and ants is one of the classical examples of mutualism. The current study was carried out during 2013-2014 in Golestan province, North-eastern Iran, to investigate the myrmecophilous aphids...

Materials and Methods. Fifteen healthy women (20-25 years) with regular menstrual cycles ( 26-30 days ), volunteered to participate in this experiment. All participants were...

composition that satisfies the wanted output concept.

In this paper, a semantic composer based on ant colony optimization method is proposed. This semantic composer is tested using the challenge set of Web Service Challenges (WSC) 2008. The proposed...

In this paper Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and finite element analysis are employed in topology optimization of 2D and 3D structuralmodels. The aim is to find the stiffest structure with a certain amount of material, based on the element’s...
