Journal Paper Accepted!

I got some good news this morning that some of my PhD research is going to be published in an upcoming issue of the Swarm Intelligence Journal. Very exciting given that the journal is edited by the heavyweights in this field and they hold the keys pretty tight! The paper looks outstanding now compared to when it was first submitted thanks to the comprehensive review it was given by the review and editorial boards. These guys love their field, and it really shows!

The paper is titled "Multiple Objective Ant Colony Optimisation". The research was a bit of a spin off from my thesis and basically categorises about a dozen Multiple Objective Ant Colony Optimisation algorithms according to their common features. It will be out early 2009 and I'll post a link to it when it appears.

Details of the journal from Springer:

Swarm Intelligence is the principal peer reviewed publication dedicated to reporting research and new developments in this multidisciplinary field. The journal publishes original research articles and occasional reviews on theoretical, experimental, and practical aspects of swarm intelligence. It offers readers reports on advances in the understanding and utilization of systems that are based on the principles of swarm intelligence.

Emphasis is given to such topics as the modeling and analysis of collective biological systems; application of biological swarm intelligence models to real-world problems; and theoretical and empirical research in ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, swarm robotics, and other swarm intelligence algorithms. Articles often combine experimental and theoretical work.
