Expectation of profit is the economic driving force motivating business activity in a free-enterprise economy. An increase in this profit for a given organization can be accomplis...
This paper presents a new variant of Basic Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm named QI-PSO for solving global optimization problems. The QI-PSO algorithm makes use of a ...
This paper presents an updated version of the adaptive learning particle swarm optimizer (ALPSO) [6], we call it ALPSO-II. In order to improve the performance of ALPSO on multi-mod...
This paper presents a simple, hybrid two phase global optimization algorithm called DE-PSO for solving global optimization problems. DE-PSO consists of alternating phases of Diffe...
In a distributed system, a number of application tasks may need to be assigned to different processors such that the system cost is minimized and the constraints with limited reso...
