Aplicação do algoritmo de otimização por colônia de formigas sobre o problema do passeio do robô seletivo. 2012. 79 f. Dissertação (Mestrado em Ciência da Computação) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2012.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/jspui/handle/123456789/18048This work seeks to propose and evaluate a change to the Ant Colony Optimization based on the results of experiments performed on the problem of Selective Ride Robot (PRS, a new problem, also proposed in this paper. Four metaheuristics are implemented, GRASP, VNS and two versions of Ant Colony Optimization, and their results are analyzed by running the algorithms over 32 instances created during this work. The metaheuristics also have their results compared to an exact approach. The results show that the algorithm implemented using the GRASP metaheuristic show good results. The version of the multicolony ant colony algorithm, proposed and evaluated in this work, shows the best resultsapplication/pdfAcesso AbertoOtimização combinatóriaProblemas de rotemento, Algoritmos em colônia de formigaAlgoritmos experimentaisGraspVnsMetaheurísticasVnsGraspMetaheuristicsmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::CIENCIA DA COMPUTACAO
