Moreover, a method to self-adaptively adjust the threshold of ant's movement is presented, which simplifies the parameter's selection. The algorithm is compared with others through the application of data clustering. The results show that the proposed algorithm has high efficiency, simple parameters and self adaptivity.}, identifier = {05732556}, }
