By these parameter values in different UCTP problem instances‚ MMAS algorithm converges more rapidly with minimum no of soft violations and generates the timetable. In the experiment‚ the most influence factor is the heuristic information (β) and the other influence factors are pheromone evaporation rate (ρ)‚ pheromone weight (α) and no of ants (A) and no of iterations (I).

When judging two aggrieved adversaries‚ one person must be found guilty in order to vindicate the innocence of the other. You might think that the guilty are guilty‚ even before we judge them to be so; however‚ guilt does not exist prior to our judgment. Until then‚ there is a presumption of innocence because

The cognitive model also uses heuristics as an explanation of addictive behaviour. Heuristics are used to simplify decisions and justify behaviour‚ for example‚ some gamblers will have ‘hindsight bias’‚ saying after a gambling session that they knew what was going to happen. This

In 1994 the original model was published as a heuristic model. The term heuristic as the name implies mean that the model was developed from a practical problem-solving method rather than an academic theorist approach to evidenced based practice. The model was revised and republished in 2001. In 2015 two authors‚
