In this comparison, simulations were presented, and two parameters were observed: the number of sites and the cost of client servicing. The new algorithm allowed to improve the solution in both of these parameters.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.18.008.7959}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/ant-colony-optimisation-algorithm-for-the-facility-localisation-problem} }
