Abstract

Nowadays organizations are willing to share and cooperate in building better services and products. A distributed framework is needed to support these current trends. An ant colony metaphor is a great source of inspiration to build such a framework. This paper proposes a study of Ant Colony Optimization on handling dynamic networks. The novelty of our work consists in using a multi-agent architecture to model the dynamic network and artificial intelligence to decide on the type of ants needed. Our approach allows greater flexibility in adapting to network changes.
