This thesis presents meta-heuristic based on the behaviour of natural ants looking for food. These heuristics are known as Ants Colony Optimization or ACO. We propose to compare the ACO paradigm with other well-known heuristics with regards to the use of the memory. Then, we introduce two applications of the ACO algorithms.The First application, ANTabu is an ACO scheme for the QAP. ANTabu combines the ants' paradigm with a robust local search technique (Tabu search). A parallel model developed for ANTabu is introduced. The second application lies in the machine-learning field. This scheme called AP (Automatic Programming) applies the cooperative behaviour of ants to automatically build programs. This method is then compared to the classical...
