Ant colony optimization has been become a very useful method for combination optimization problems. Based on close connections between combination optimization and continuous optimization, nowadays some scholars have studied to apply ant colony optimization to continuous optimization problems, and proposed some continuous ant colony optimizations. To improve the performance of those continuous ant colony optimizations, here the principles of evolutionary algorithm and artificial immune algorithm have been combined with the typical continuous Ant Colony Optimization, and the adaptive Cauchi mutation and thickness selection are used to operate the ant individual, so a new Immunized Ant Colony Optimization is proposed.

Subject. This article discusses the issues related to the creation of a technology of modeling and optimization of economic, financial, information, and logistics cluster-cluster cooperation within a federal district. Objectives. The article aims to propose a model for determining the optimal center of industrial agglomeration for innovation and industry clusters located in a federal district. Methods. For the study, we used the ant colony optimization algorithm. Results. The article proposes an original model of cluster-cluster cooperation, showing the best version of industrial agglomeration, the cities of Samara, Ulyanovsk, and Dimitrovgrad, for the Volga Federal District as a case study. Conclusions. If the industrial agglomeration center is located in these three cities, the cutting of the overall transportation costs and natural population decline in the Volga Federal District will make it possible to qualitatively improve the foresight of evolution of the large innovation system of the district under study.
