In recent years, various metaheuristic approaches have been created to solve Quadratic Assignment Problems (QAPs). Among others is the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm, which was inspired by the foraging behavior of ants. Although it has solved some QAPs successfully, it still contains some w...
