Abstract

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms have been applied to get the solution of many hard discrete optimization problems. But ACO algorithms have not been applied to Discrete Tomography (DT) problems yet. In this paper, we propose a framework of ACO meta-heuristic for DT problems. Some variations in the framework have also been discussed.
