Sammanfattning	Bayesian Ant Colony Optimization (BACO) is a hybrid metaheuristic that embeds Bayesian inference into the Ant Colony Optimization framework. By treating pheromone intensities or algorithm parameters as probability distributions updated with collected evidence, BACO improves convergence reliability and robustness compared to classical ACO on noisy or uncertain combinatorial optimization problems.	Bayesian Simulated Annealing (BSA) integrates Bayesian prior knowledge about the objective landscape into the simulated annealing search process. By encoding beliefs about promising regions as prior distributions and updating them as the search progresses, BSA focuses computational effort on high-probability areas of the solution space, accelerating convergence and improving solution quality compared to uninformed SA.
