Moradi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {A direct search approach to determine optimal reservoir operating is proposed with ant colony optimization for continuous domains (ACOR). The model is applied to a system of single reservoir to determine the optimum releases during 42 years of monthly steps. A disadvantage of ant colony based methods and the ACOR in particular, refers to great amount of computer run time consumption. In this study a highly effective procedure for decreasing run time has been developed. The results are compared to those of a GA based model. }, journal = {International Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {7}, year = {2008}, pages = {136 - 140}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/9343}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/19}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 19, 2008}, }
