Tiivistelmä	Agent-Based Ant Colony Optimization (AB-ACO) models individual ants as autonomous agents that probabilistically construct solutions by following and depositing pheromone trails on a search graph. By coupling agent-level behavioral rules with a shared pheromone environment, the collective system converges on high-quality solutions to hard combinatorial and simulation-embedded optimization problems without central coordination.	Multi-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (MOACO) is a swarm-intelligence metaheuristic that extends the classic Ant Colony Optimization framework to simultaneously optimize two or more conflicting objectives. Artificial ants construct candidate solutions guided by pheromone trails and heuristic information, progressively building an archive of Pareto-optimal solutions rather than converging to a single best answer.
