For this paper, global path planning using large-scale chart data was studied, and the principles of ant colony optimization （ACO） were applied. This paper introduced the idea of a visibility graph based on the grid workspace model. It also brought a series of pheromone updating rules for the ACO planning algorithm. The operational steps of the ACO algorithm are proposed as a model for a global path planning method for AUV. To mimic the process of smoothing a planned path, a cutting operator and an insertion-point operator were designed. Simulation results demonstrated that the ACO algorithm is suitable for global path planning. The system has many advantages, including that the operating path of the AUV can be quickly optimized, and it is shorter, safer, and smoother. The prototype system successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the concept, proving it can be applied to surveys of unstructured unmanned environments.展开更多

Firstly, a cross-layer optimization model is built, which considers the Doppler wavelength shift, the transmission delay as well as wavelength-continuity constraint. Then an ant colony algorithm is utilized to solve the cross-layer optimization model, resulting in finding an optimal light path satisfying the above constraints for every connection request. The performance of CL-ACRWA is measured by the communication success probability, the convergence property and the transmission delay. Simulation results show that CL-ACRWA performs well in communication success probability and has good global search ability as well as fast convergence speed. Meanwhile, the transmission delay can meet the basic requirement of real-time transmission of business.展开更多

The important features of an agent system such as the latency of the network infrastructure, dynamic topology, and node heterogeneity impose new challenges on the task allocation in Multi-Agent environments. Based on the traditional parallel computing task allocation method and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), a novel task allocation method named Collection Path Ant Colony Optimization (CPACO) is proposed to achieve global optimization and reduce processing time. The existing problems of ACO are analyzed; CPACO overcomes such problems by modifying the heuristic function and the update strategy in the Ant-Cycle Model and establishing a threedimensional path pheromone storage space. The experimental results show that CPACO consumed only 10.3% of the time taken by the Global Search Algorithm and exhibited better performance than the Forward Optimal Heuristic Algorithm.展开更多

Correct delineation of the eyes on CT images is one of important issues for treatment planning to protect the eyes as much as possible. In this paper, we propose a new method, named ant colony optimization （ACO）, to delineate the eyes automatically. In the proposed algorithm, each ant tries to find a closed path, and some pheromone is deposited on the visited path when the ant fmds a path. After all ants fmish a circle, the best ant will lay some pheromone to enforce the best path. The proposed algorithm is verified on several CT images, and the preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of ACO for the delineation problem.展开更多

Many researchers work on DVS and have presented various DVS algorithms, some with quite good results. However, the previous algorithms either have a large time complexity or obtain results sensitive to the count of the voltage modes. Fine-grained voltage modes lead to optimal results, but coarse-grained voltage modes cause less optimal one. A new algorithm is presented, which is based on ant colony optimization, called ant colony optimization voltage and task scheduling (ACO-VTS) with a low time complexity implemented by parallelizing and its linear time approximation algorithm. Both of them generate quite good results, saving up to 30% more energy than that of the previous ones under coarse-grained modes, and their results don’t depend on the number of modes available.展开更多
