In this paper, we propose a dynamic, non-dominated sorting, multiobjective particle-swarm-based optimizer, named Hierarchical Non-dominated Sorting Particle Swarm Optimizer (H-NSPSO), for memory usage optimization in embedded systems. It significantly reduces the computational complexity of others MultiObjective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithms. Concretely, it first uses a fast no...

The particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) has two typical problems as in other adaptive evolutionary algorithms, which are based on swarm intelligence search. To deal with the problems of the slow convergence rate and the tendency to trap into premature, an improved particle swarm optimization with decline disturbance index (DDPSO) is presented in this paper. The index was added when the ...

In this paper we present an estimation of distribution particle swarm optimization algorithm that borrows ideas from recent developments in ant colony optimization which can be considered an estimation of distribution algorithm. In the classical particle swarm optimization algorithm, particles exploit their individual memory to explore the search space. However, the swarm as a whole has no mean...

This chapter introduces some of the theoretical foundations of swarm intelligence. We focus on the design and implementation of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for various types of function optimization problems, real world applications and data mining. Results are analyzed, discussed and their potentials are illustrated.

This paper presents the Computing Networks (CNs) framework. CNs are used to generalize neural and swarm architectures. Artificial neural networks, ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, and realistic biological models are used as examples of instantiations of CNs. The description of these architectures as CNs allows their comparison. Their differences and similarities allow the i...

The need to deduce interesting and valuable information from large, complex, information-rich data sets is common to many research fields. Rule discovery or rule mining uses a set of IF-THEN rules to classify a class or category in a comprehensible way. Besides the classical approaches, many rule mining approaches use biologicallyinspired algorithms such as evolutionary algorithms and swarm int...

This article presents a fuzzy self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (FSAPSO) learning algorithm to extract a near optimum codebook of vector quantization (VQ) for carrying on image compression. The fuzzy self-adaptive particle swarm optimization vector quantization (FSAPSOVQ) learning schemes, combined advantages of the fuzzy inference method (FIM), the simple VQ concept and the efficient s...

Swarm Intelligence is the global intelligent behaviour emerged from the interaction of groups of simple agents. The existing swarm intelligence research mainly refers to swarm intelligence optimization, which with ant colony optimization and particle swarm optimization as a representative. And the relevant research work focuses on the performance improvements of the optimization algorithm, whic...

Charged particle swarm optimization (CPSO) is well suited to the dynamic search problem since inter-particle repulsion maintains population diversity and good tracking can be achieved with a simple algorithm. This work extends the application of CPSO to the dynamic problem by considering a bi-modal parabolic environment of high spatial and temporal severity. Two types of charged swarms and an a...

This study addresses swarm intelligence-based approaches in data quality detection. First, three typical swarm intelligence models and their applications in abnormity detection are introduced, including Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Bee Colony Optimization (BCO). Then, it presents three approaches based on ACO, PSO and BCO for detection of attribute outliers ...
