Abstract

In this paper the problem of recycling of end-of-life goods is approached using a computer-aided technique named Ant Colony Optimization system. The need of disassembly for recycling and the opportunity of using computer-aided techniques, AI tools in particular, are discussed. The basic concepts of Ant Colony Optimization systems are also introduced. The main topics related to a future application of this methodology to a software system able to support the designer in choosing the best disassembly sequences of products are discussed.
