This paper presents a state of the art overview on Ants Systems. Initially the work proposes the fundamental concepts of Ants Theory and offers a description of the main algorithms (based on Ants Theory) and the respective fields of application. Among different fields of application, the paper focuses on industrial plants scheduling problems in open shop, flow shop and job shop systems. The last part of paper discusses about the possibility to combine Modeling & Simulation and Ant Theory to develop advanced real-time support tools for the job shop scheduling problem.

Abstract
This paper presents a state of the art overview on Ants Systems. Initially the work proposes the fundamental concepts of Ants Theory and offers a description of the main algorithms (based on Ants Theory) and the respective fields of application. Among different fields of application, the paper focuses on industrial plants scheduling problems in open shop, flow shop and job shop systems. The last part of paper discusses about the possibility to combine Modeling & Simulation and Ant Theory to develop advanced real-time support tools for the job shop scheduling problem.File in questo prodotto:
