摘要
Network analysis provides an effective practical system for planning and controlling large projects in construction and many other fields. Ant Colony System is a recent approach used for solving path minimization problems. This paper presents the use of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) system for solving and calculating both deterministic and probabilistic CPM/PERT networks. The proposed method is investigated for a selected case study in construction management. The results demonstrate that – compared to conventional methods – ACO can produce good optimal and suboptimal solutions.
