- abstract = "Ant Colony algorithms are population-based methods widely used in combinatorial optimisation problems. We propose a strongly typed genetic programming approach to automatically evolve the communication mechanism that allows ants to cooperatively solve a given problem. Results obtained with several TSP instances show that the evolved pheromone update strategies are effective, exhibit a good generalisation capability and are competitive with human designed variants.",
