  • Abstract
    The purpose of this paper is to present a modified version of the ant colony system (ACS) algorithm. The modified ACS algorithm is faster and it has a better performance than the standard ACS algorithm. We have established a set of local rules/modifications, that do improve the performance of the standard ACS and these are reported here.
