this paper proposes a method to solve multi-objective problems using improved particle swarm optimization. we propose leader particles which guide other particles inside the problem domain. two techniques are suggested for selection and deletion of such particles to improve the optimal solutions. the first one is based on the mean of the m optimal particles and the second one is based on appoin...

Distribution systems are the major interface between electricity consumer and electrical transmission system. Requisite amount of planning is necessary for these to be in order as they vast complex. An important concern on operation distribution its voltage stability. Placing Distributed Generation (DGs) system can address concerns a better way. The location rating DGs going have deep impact pr...

Nowadays, new methods are required to take advantage of the rich and extensive gold mine of data given the vast content of data particularly created by educational systems. Data mining algorithms have been used in educational systems especially e-learning systems due to the broad usage of these systems. Providing a model to predict final student results in educational course is a reason for usi...

This study presents a robust and rigorous method based on intelligent models, namely radial basis function networks optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO-RBF), multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLP-NNs), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system optimized by particle swarm optimization methods (PSO-ANFIS), for predicting the equilibrium and kinetics of the adsorption of sulfur and ...

The Particle Swarm Optimization is very efficient in intrusion detection in the networks. However, many intrusion detection systems either fail to detect or falsely detect the intrusions. This paper proposes a technique for intrusion detection using Particle Swarm Optimization with Genetic Algorithm based feature selection and using Adaptive Mutation for slow convergence of optimization algorit...

blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. in this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. in these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. in order to evalu...

A novel orthogonal multi-swarm cooperative particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with a particle trajectory knowledge base is presented in this paper. Different from the traditional PSO algorithms and other variants of PSO, the proposed orthogonal multi-swarm cooperative PSO algorithm not only introduces an orthogonal initialization mechanism and a particle trajectory knowledge base for m...

Tuning of PID controller parameters is an important problem in control field. To solve this problem we used an Advanced Particle Swarm Optimization which is powerful stochastic evolutionary algorithm that is used to find the global optimum solution in search space.

With the rapid development of swarm intelligence research field, a large number of algorithms in swarm intelligence are proposed one after another. The strong points and the drawbacks of a specific swarm intelligence algorithm becomes clear to be seen when the number of its application increases. To overcome the handicaps, some hybrid methods are invented. In this review, three hybrid swarm int...
