CP with ACO. 330 $aAnt colony optimization is a metaheuristic which has been successfully applied to a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. The author describes this metaheuristic and studies its efficiency for solving some hard combinatorial problems, with a specific focus on constraint programming. The text is organized into three parts. The first part introduces constraint programming, which provides high level features to declaratively model problems by means of constraints. It describes the main existing approaches for solving constraint satisfaction problems, including complete tree search 410 0$aISTE 606 $aConstraint programming (Computer science) 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aSwarm intelligence 606 $aAnt algorithms 615 0$aConstraint programming (Computer science) 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aSwarm intelligence. 615 0$aAnt algorithms. 676 $a005.1/16 700 $aSolnon$b Christine$01687761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819597103321 996 $aAnt colony optimization and constraint programming$94061488 997 $aUNINA
