Weakness recognition in network using ACO and mobile agents

Network vulnerabilities are present in every system. Network technology advances so rapidly that it can be very difficult to eradicate vulnerabilities altogether; the best one can hope for, in many cases, is simply to minimize them. ACO is a member of ant colony algorithms family, in swarm intelligence methods, and it constitutes some meta-heuristic optimizations. By applying the concept of ACO in network vulnerability detection, we can reduce the network related problems and improve the performance of the network.
