Interpolated Ant Colony Optimization (IACO) for a continuous domain was proposed in the paper. The IACO uses the same mechanisms as the classical ACO applied to discrete optimization. The continuous search space is sampled by individuals on the basis of the linear interpolated trace of the pheromone. It allows to obtain a simple and efficient optimization algorithm. The proposed algorithm is then used to identify delays in linear dynamic systems. The examination results show that it is an effective tool for global optimization problems.
