Abstract:Abstract-The optimal communication spanning tree (OCST) problem finds a spanning tree that connects all node satisfies their communication requirements for a minimum total cost. In this paper, we present a new method of finding optimal solution for OCST problem based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) to reduce search space mentioned above but still converge to a global good solution. Our algorithm take account into node biased encoding (NBE) scheme to find nearly optimal solution. The new algorithm can achieve … Show more
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.
