— Particle swarm has proven to be competitive to other evolutionary algorithms in the field of optimization, and in many cases enables a faster convergence to the ideal solution...
Abstract. In ad hoc sensor networks, sensor nodes have very limited energy resources, thus energy consuming operations such as data collection, transmission and reception must be k...

This paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimizer using the notion of species to determine its neighbourhood best values, for solving multimodal optimization problems. In th...
— Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a stochastic global optimization algorithm inspired by social behavior of bird flocking in search for food, which is a simple but powerful...
Many scientific and engineering applications require optimization methods to find more than one solution to multimodal optimization problems. This paper presents a new particle ...
