This paper introduces a hybrid metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Particle Swarm Optimization (VNPSO), consisting of a combination of the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) ...
This paper examines a simulation of the Beer Distribution Game and a number of optimisation approaches to this game. This well known game was developed at MIT in the 1960s and has ...
—The particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is a popular computing technique of swarm intelligence, known for its fast convergence speed and easy implementation. All the particles in the...
— 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...
Recent work has introduced a simulation model of ecological processes in terms of a very simple Particle Swarm algorithm. This abstract model produced qualitatively realistic beha...
