On the performance of ACO-based methods in p2p resource discovery

- We search for an optimal aco algorithm in p2p environment.
- We formulate criteria for such an algorithm and examine the candidates.
- The impact of underlying topology is negligible if not exploited directly.
- The hybrid approach converges better and quicker than the mutli-agent approach.
- The mutli-agent approach converges quicker, but worse than single-agent approach.
