Abstract :
Hierarchical Heterogeneous Ant Colony Optimization (HHACO) was proposed previously to solve a combinatorial problem of healthy meal plans. Results of HACO are compared to the results obtained by the exact method. It is shown that the use of HACO is justified for the problems with greater size. Sensitivity analysis of HHACO was performed as well and the most influential model parameters were identified.
