Dreaming of Metaheuristics

Springer has published a new book in their Studies in Computational Intelligence series.

Edited by Abraham, Grosan and Ramos, it covers "Stigmergic Optimization". Looking at the table of content, one can see that we talk about Ant Colony Optimization.

Of course, it also get onto the so-called swarm intelligence and self-organization, but also onto Particle Swarm Optimization, which is a method that gather more and more researchers these months.

Note that this bibliography is quite old (2003) and aim french students.

If you need only one reference, this is (of course, because I'm one of the authors) this one :
