Interacted Multiple Ant Colonies Optimization (IMACO) is a newly proposed framework. Pheromone evaluation mechanism is playing a central role in this framework. This paper describes the newly proposed IMACO framework and proposes a more effective pheromone evaluation mechanism. Computational tests s...
