蚁群算法(ant colony optimization, ACO)，又称蚂蚁算法，是一种用来在图中寻找优化路径的机率型算法。它由Marco Dorigo于1992年在他的博士论文中提出，其灵感来源于蚂蚁在寻找食物过程中发现路径的行为-Ant colony algorithm (ant colony optimization, ACO), also known as ant algorithm, is a probabilistic algorithm used to find optimal path in the graph of the. It is composed of Marco Dorigo in his doctoral thesis in 1992 proposed, inspired by ants find food process path behavior
