— 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...
PSO is a population-based technique for optimization, which simulates the social behavior of the fish schooling or bird flocking. Two significant weaknesses of this method are: fir...
Vertical partition is an important technique in database design used to enhance performance in database systems. Vertical fragmentation is a combinatorial optimization problem that...
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...
: An approach to polygonal approximation of regular digital curves based on PSO algorithm is presented. In this paper, each particle corresponds to a candidate solution to the poly...
