Aggregation pheromone system (APS) is an extension of ACO for continuous domains, using the collective behavior of individuals that communicate using aggregation pheromones. APS is tested on several test functions. Results show APS could solve real-parameter optimization problems fairly well. The sensitivity of control parameters of APS is also studied.

The technical paper on APS is availavle at HERE.Japanese version is at ƒRƒR We are planning to enhance more feature to improve the performance.
