Recently, a Consultant-Guided Search(CGS) has been proposed as a metaheuristic method for the Traveling Salesperson Problem(TSP). This approach is an algorithm in which a virtual person called a client creates a solution based on consultation with a virtual person called a consultant. In this research, we propose a parallel algorithm which uses the Ant Colony System(ACS) to create a solution with a consultant in a Consultant-Guided Search, and calculates an approximation solution for the TSP. Finally, we execute a computer experiment using the benchmark problems(TSPLIB). Our algorithm provides a solution with less than 2% error rate for problem instances using less than 2000 cities.}, pages = {1728--1738}, title = {Hybrid Consultant-Guided Search for the Traveling Salesperson Problem}, volume = {E97-A}, year = {2014} }
