Abstract: |
This paper presents a state of the
art overview on Ants Systems. Initially the work proposes the fundamental
concepts of Ants Theory and offers a description of the main algorithms
(based on Ants Theory) and the respective fields of application. Among
different fields of application, the paper focuses on industrial plants
scheduling problems in open shop, flow shop and job shop systems. The last
part of paper discusses about the possibility to combine Modeling & Simulation
and Ant Theory to develop advanced real-time support tools for the job shop scheduling problem. |
