RT Journal Article T1 A full process algebraic representation of Ant Colony Optimization A1 Rodríguez Laguna, Ismael A1 López Barquilla, Natalia A1 García Moreno, María AB We present a process algebra capable of specifying parallelized Ant Colony Optimization algorithms in full detail: PA2CO. After explaining the basis of three different ACO algorithms (Ant System, MAX-MIN Ant System, and Ant Colony System), we formally define PA2CO and use it for representing several types of implementations with different parallel schemes. In particular fine-grained and coarse-grained specifications, each one taking advantage of parallel executions at different levels of system granularity, are formalized.
