Cerro Cañizares, PabloGarcía Merayo, María De Las MercedesVara, Juan M.2025-01-292025-01-292017-01-3010.3233/JIFS-169132https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/116955This paper introduces a new high-level domain-specific modelling language, LAnt, for the design of ant colony optimization algorithms. This language is used to represent the main elements required to define the structure of the algorithms and to capture the specific constraints associated to the problem to solve. It aims to support users with low experience in the development of solutions based on this paradigm. The proposal has been implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, including an editor and an integrated code generator.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.3233/JIFS-169132restricted accessArtificial intelligenceAnt colony optimizationModel driven engineeringDomain specific languageInteligencia artificial (Informática)1203.04 Inteligencia Artificial
