This article presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm (PSABC) based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Both of the algorithms are co-operative, population-based global search swarm intelligence met heuristics. The core of this algorithm is using PSO to optimize the fitness value of population in ABC. For Evaluation purpose, the proposed algorithm is tested on ...

Although Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used in variety of applications; it has limitations in the training phase. In this work, a new enhancement for PSO is proposed to overcome such limitations. The proposed PSO optimization consists of two stages. In the first stage, a Gaussian Maximum Likelihood (GML) is added to PSO to update the last 25% of swarm particles, while in the second stage...

In this paper we investigate the application of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique for solving the Hardware/Software partitioning problem. The PSO is attractive for the Hardware/Software partitioning problem as it offers reasonable coverage of the design space together with O(n) main loop's execution time, where n is the number of proposed solutions that will evolve to provide the ...

Swarm Intelligence algorithms have been extensively applied to solve optimization problems. However, in some domains even well-established techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) may not present the necessary ability to generate diversity during the process of the swarm convergence. Indeed, this is the major difficulty to use PSO to tackle dynamic problems. Many efforts to overcome...

A grid computing system consists of a group of programs and resources that are spread across machines in the grid. A grid system has a dynamic environment and decentralized distributed resources, so it is important to provide efficient scheduling for applications. Task scheduling is an NP-hard problem and deterministic algorithms are inadequate and heuristic algorithms such as particle swarm op...

Stock price prediction is the main concern for financial firms and private investors. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid BP neural network combining adaptive PSO algorithm (HBP-PSO) to predict the stock price. HBP-PSO takes full use of the global searching capability of PSO and the local searching advantages of BP Neural Network. The PSO algorithm is applied for training the connection weights...

Generating schedules such that all operations are repeated every constant period of time is as important as generating schedules with minimum delays in all cases where a known discipline is desired or obligated by stakeholders. In this paper, a periodic job shop scheduling problem (PJSSP) based on the periodic event scheduling problem (PESP) is presented, which deviates from the cyclic scheduli...

Abstract Electroencephagram (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity of the brain. Though it is intended to record cerebral signals,it also records the signals that are not of cerebral origin called artifacts. Artifact removal from EEG signals is essential for better diagnosis. This paper proposes a hybrid learning algorithm based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for elimin...
