The ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO), introduced by Moyson and Manderick and widely developed by Marco Dorigo [CMD91,Dor92,DoSt04, is a probabilistic technique for solving computational problems which can be reduced to finding good paths through graphs. They are inspired by the behaviour of ants in finding paths from the colony to food.
Overview
In the real world, ants (initially) wander randomly, and upon finding food return to their colony while laying down pheromone trails. If other ants find such a path, they are likely not to keep travelling at random, but to instead follow the trail, returning and reinforcing it if they eventually find food (Details on this behaviour.)

Ant Colony Optimization - Optimization methodology based on ant behaviors. The first ACO system was introduced by Marco Dorigo in 1992. ACO was applied to the travelling salesman problem, and to the quadratic assignment problem.
