  • Abstract
    The sum coloring problem (MSCP) is an NP-hard problem derived from the graphs coloring (GCP). The problem (MSCP) consists in minimizing the sum of colors in a graph. Our resolution approach is based on an hybridization of Max-Min Ant System (MMAS) an extension of Ant System and a local heuristic based on an improvement of the maximal independent set algorithm given by F. Glover[4].
