| Abstract |
We provide an introduction to particle swarm optimization (PSO), an
optimization technique inspired by social behavior simulations.
Similarly to evolutionary computation techniques, in PSO a
population of individuals (particles) is maintained. Each particle
adjusts its velocity according to its own flying experience and its
companions’ ones. Interactions between particles are determined by
the neighborhood topology, which defines how particles can
communicate. The effect of different topologies on the algorithm's
performance is discussed. |
