Abstract—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant

Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms have attracted the interest of researchers due to their simplicity, effectiveness and efficiency in solving real world optimization problems. Swarm-inspired optimization has recently become very pop-ular. Both ACO and PSO are successfully applied in the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). Our approach consists in combining Fuzzy Logic with ACO (FACO- Fuzzy Ant Colony Optimization) and PSO (FPSO- Fuzzy Particle Swarm Optimization) for solving the TSP. Experimental results and comparative studies illustrate the importance of Fuzzy logic in reducing the time and the best length for the TSP problems considered
