As a new general-purpose heuristic algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization Algorithm(ACO) has been applied to combinatorial optimization problems. The main characteristics of ACO are positive feedback, distributed computation and the use of constructive greedy heuristic. This paper presents the principle and the hierarchy model of the ACO with small-perturbation. This algorithm is applied to the optimization...
Assembly sequence planning plays an important role in the product development process. It is an important factor that determines quality and cost of the product assembly. Cost in assembly can be reduced by the implementation of generating automatic product assembly sequences, and selecting the optimum sequence in product assembly process. Assembly sequence planning (ASP) is combinatorial problem....
