This algorithm is usually used for Accepted 18 August 2010 discrete domains, but with some modifications, has been applied to continuous optimization. In this paper, three examples with continuous and discrete parameters as well as known solutions and varying degrees of Keywords: complexities are presented as an illustration for solving a large class of process optimization problems in Evolutionary algorithms petroleum engineering. Results of case studies show the ability of ant colony algorithm to provide fast and Ant colony accurate solutions. Optimization History matching © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All
