Abstract :
This paper proposes a distributed parallel processing of Queen Ant Strategy named "ASqueen" which imitated an ant society where a queen ant governs. It is noted that the proposed processing method achieves "shortening of average time for search" and "improvement of searching ability" at the same time in seventy-six cities’ configuration of traveling salesman problem.
