Ant Colony Optimization: Inspired by
Nature
1 Foraging Behavior
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the
cooperative foraging behavior of ants, which has shown great potential in
addressing complex optimization problems, including cloud resource
allocation.
2 Pheromone-based Communication
ACO leverages the concept of pheromone-based communication, where ants
deposit and follow pheromone trails to find optimal paths. This mechanism
can be adapted to optimize the allocation of virtual machines (VMs) to
physical hosts in cloud environments.
3 Adaptive Optimization
By utilizing the probabilistic decision-making and pheromone trail update
mechanisms of ACO, resource allocation strategies can adaptively optimize
the distribution of workloads, minimize communication overhead, and
enhance overall resource utilization in cloud computing.
