Abstract
A concept for metaheuristics, sensitivity, is introduced by the author in collaboration with D.Dumitrescu and C.Chira in [50]. The concept is derived from the ant’s level of sensitivity to the pheromone. The concept heterogeneous sensitivity [53] is derived by enhancing each agent of the model with properties that induce heterogeneity (variable agent life time or the particular heuristics engaged by each agent in the search process) and the ant’s level of sensitivity to the pheromone.
