A Novel Fused Optimization Algorithm of Genetic Algorithm and Ant Colony Optimization

A novel fused algorithm that delivers the benefits of both genetic algorithms (GAs) and ant colony optimization (ACO) is proposed to solve the supplier selection problem. The proposed method combines the evolutionary effect of GAs and the cooperative effect of ACO. A GA with a great global convergin...
