Ant Colony Optimization for Continuous and Mixed-Variable Domains

In this work, we present a way to extend Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), so that it can be applied to both continuous and mixed-variable optimization problems. We demonstrate, first, how ACO may be extended to continuous domains. We describe the algorithm proposed, discuss the different design decisi...
