AB - In this paper we report the first attempt to design combinational logic circuits using the ant system. In order to design circuits, a measure of quality improvement in partially built circuits is introduced and a cost metric (based on the number of gates) is adopted in order to optimize the feasible circuits generated. The approach is compared to a genetic algorithm and to a human designer using several examples and the sensitivity of the algorithm to its parameters is studied using analysis of variance. The results indicate that the ant system is a viable alternative to design combinational logic circuits.
