— This paper presents a novel swarm approximate dynamic programming method (swarm-ADP) for parameter optimization of PSO systems, from the perspective of optimal control. Based o...
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 ...
Recent work on BitTorrent swarms has demonstrated that a bandwidth bottleneck at the seed can lead to the underutilization of the aggregate swarm capacity. Bandwidth underutilizat...
Niching techniques play an important role in evolutionary algorithms. Existing niching methods often require userspecified parameters, limiting their usefulness. This paper propos...
In this paper a new class of hybridization strategies between GA and PSO is presented and validated. The Genetical Swarm Optimization (GSO) approach is presented here with respect ...
