Ephemeral project. No independent sources, no indication of notability. Does not meet WP:GNG. Crusio (talk) 16:56, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Another EU techie research project, that promises great improvements in .... ant colonies: The ADVANCE software will be designed to analyse massive data sets for long term planning as well as rapidly process huge amounts of new data in real time. Data mining, machine learning, and optimisation techniques (such as Ant Colony Optimisation) will be employed to aggregate structured but locally confined data, and extract actionable information to improve local dispatching decisions (e.g.: deadheading minimisation, early detection of missed due-dates, forecast of expected partnership modification).

As a key to incorporating appropriate end-user perspectives and enabling users to interpret and assess automatically suggested decisions, ADVANCE will be designed to integrate human expertise (through cognitive modelling; Bayesian belief networks) with data mining algorithms. Industrial implementations will have the networked road-freight distribution enterprise group Palletways as main piloting partner, involving three different operational and decision levels, and including multiple independent companies on the local distribution levels.

delete not only is not notable, it seems impossible that the sources cited actually have to do with the subject of the article, as they both were written (2004,2008) before the project described began (2010). the text of the article suggests that the sources describe techniques that the developers of the software plan to employ, rather than giving evidence for the statements that are sourced to them.
