Abstract

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic is a multi-agent system in which the behaviour of each ant is inspired by the foraging behaviour of real ants to solve optimization problem. Set Covering Problems (SCP), on the other hand, deal with maximizing the coverage of every subset while the weight nodes used must be minimized. In this paper, ACO was adapted and used to solve a case of Set Covering Problem. The adapted ACO for solving the SCP was implemented as a computer program using SciLab 5.4.1. The problem of determining the optimal location of Wi-Fi Access Points using the 802.11n protocol in the UP Los Banos Math Building was solved using this metaheuristic. Results show that in order to have 100% coverage of the MB, 7 access points are required. Methodology of the study can be adapted and results of the study can be used by decision makers on related optimization problems.

蚁群优化元启发式算法在集覆盖问题中的应用
蚁群优化(ACO)元启发式是一个多智能体系统,其中每个蚂蚁的行为都受到真实蚂蚁觅食行为的启发,以解决优化问题。另一方面,集覆盖问题(SCP)处理的是最大化每个子集的覆盖,而使用的权重节点必须最小化。本文将ACO方法应用于一个集覆盖问题的求解。使用SciLab 5.4.1将用于解决SCP的自适应ACO实现为计算机程序。使用这种元启发式方法解决了在UP Los Banos数学大楼中使用802.11n协议确定Wi-Fi接入点的最佳位置的问题。结果显示,为了实现MB的100%覆盖,需要7个接入点。研究方法可以进行调整,决策者可以将研究结果用于相关的优化问题。
