This paper is based on bio-inspired optimization algorithms. Optimization is the process of selecting the best element by following some rules and criteria from some set of available alternatives. In this paper, we have solved Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) using Swarm Intelligence algorithms and we have compared them. First we have implemented the basic Genetic Algorithm (GA) on TSP. Then we have implemented Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Algorithm on TSP. In optimization problem, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Algorithm have been known as good meta-heuristic techniques. GA is designed by adopting the natural law of evolution, while ACO is inspired by the foraging behavior of ant species. Balancing the exploitation-exploration tradeoff is required in ACO. In contrast with the GA implementation, ACO was much easier to control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
