... one typical combinatorial optimization problem. Ant colony optimization (ACO) is useful for solving discrete optimization problems whereas the performance of ACO depends on the values of parameters. The hybrid symbiotic organisms search (SOS) and ACO algorithm (SOS–ACO) is proposed for TSP. After certain parameters of ACO are assigned, the remaining parameters can be adaptively optimized by SOS. Using the optimized parameters, ACO finds the optimal or near-optimal solution and the complexity for assigning ACO parameters is greatly reduced. In addition, one simple ...
