http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/wiki/index.php/History_Max_Manfrin


Plan (future work)

  • Investigate the effect of parallelization on Ant Colony Optimization algorithms


Goals

  • Acquire practical experience in parallelization on ACO algorithms (both explicit and implicit parallelism)
  • Submit paper to ANTS 2006 (on explicit parallelism - MPI)
