Abstract

The problem of Minimum Broadcast Time (MET) seeks to find the minimal number of times steps required to broadcast a message through a communication network. We describe a novel ant algorithm for solving this NP-Complete problem and compare it to three other known algorithms, one of which is genetic. Through experimentation on randomly generated graphs we show that our algorithm finds the best solutions.
