....be used for the solution of any COP requiring the search of a node permutation in a graph. Let us start with the following observation: real ants seem to be able to find their way (from the nest to a food source and back, or around an obstacle) with relative ease, although they are almost blind [Denebourg, Pasteels, Verhaeghe, 1983]. Ethological studies discovered that this capacity is the result of the interplay via chemical communication between ants (through a substance called pheromone) and an emergent phenomenon caused by the simultaneous presence of many ants. In our work we tried to reproduce this mechanism in an ....

....the ATSP. In the approach discussed in this paper we distribute the search activities over so called ants, that is, agents with very simple basic capabilities which, to some extent, mimic the behavior of real ants. In fact, research on the behavior of real ants has greatly inspired our work (see [10], 11] 21] One of the problems studied by ethologists was to understand how almost blind animals like ants could manage to establish shortest route paths from their colony to feeding sources and back. It was found that the medium used to communicate information among individuals regarding ....

....simple agents. In particular, we are interested in the distribution of search activities over socalled ants , i.e. agents that use very simple basic actions in order to ease the parallelization of the computational effort. Our work has been inspired by researches on the behavior of real ants ([3], 4] 10] where one of the problems of interest is to understand how almost blind animals like ants can manage to establish shortest route paths from their colony to feeding sources and back. It was found that the media used to communicate among individuals information regarding paths and used ....
