ICM 2003,Dec. 9-11, Cairo, Egypt. Ant Colony Algorithm for Evolutionary Design of Arithmetic Circuits Mostafa Abd-El-Barr, Senior Member; IEEE, Sadiq M. Sait, Senior Member; IEEI?, and Bambang A. B.Sarif Absfruct-Evolutionary computation is a niw field of research consumption. In this paper, a multi objective evolutionary in which hardware design is pursued by deriving inspiration from logic design based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) for biological organisms. This new paradigm is expected to radically arithmetic circuits is proposed. The goal is to find optimized change the synthesis procedures in a way that allows discovering ‘noveldesigns andlor more efficient circuits. In this paper, a multi circuits in terms of area, dellay and power. objective optimization strategy for design of arithmetic circuits based on Ant Colony optimization algorithm is presented. Results 11. ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM are compared with those obtained using other techniques. Ant Colony Optimizatiori (ACO) algorithm [9] is a new Index Terms- Logic Design, Evolutionary Computation, Ant mcta-heuristic that combines distributed computation, auto- Colony Optimization, Multiobjective Optimization, Fuzzy Logic. catalysis (positive feedback) and constructive greedy heuristic in finding optimal solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. Unlike Genetic Algorithms (GAS), which are blind, I. INTRODUCTION
