MIDACO

MIDACO (Mixed Integer Distributed Ant Colony Optimization) is a software package for numerical optimization based on evolutionary computing. MIDACO was created in collaboration of European Space Agency and EADS Astrium to solve constrained mixed-integer non-linear (MINLP) space applications.^[1][2] MIDACO holds several record solutions on interplanetary spaceflight trajectory design problems^[3][4][5][6] made publicly available by European Space Agency. MIDACO is included in software packages like TOMLAB,^[7] Astos,^[8] and SigmaXL.^[9]
