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 ...

This paper proposes an energy efficient control strategy for an induction machine (IM) based on two advanced particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithms. Two advanced PSO algorithms, known as the dynamic particle swarm optimisation (Dynamic PSO) and the chaos particle swarm optimisation (Chaos PSO) algorithms modify the algorithm parameters to improve the performance of the standard PSO algori...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a recently developed optimization method that has attracted interest of researchers in various areas. PSO has been shown to be effective in solving a variety of complex optimization problems. With properly chosen parameters, PSO can converge to local optima. However, conventional PSO does not have global convergence. Empirical evidences indicate that the PSO...

Abstract— The aim of this paper is to study the tuning of a PID controller using swarm optimization techniques. In this paper, comparative performance of PSO and BF-PSO based PID controller is analyzed. PSO algorithm converges rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process slows down. In order to overcome this problem and to further enhance t...

In the original particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm, the particles' velocities and positions are updated after the whole swarm performance is evaluated. This algorithm is also known as synchronous PSO (S-PSO). The strength of this update method is in the exploitation of the information. Asynchronous update PSO (A-PSO) has been proposed as an alternative to S-PSO. A particle in A-PSO upd...

Although Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has demonstrated competitive performance in solving global optimization problems, it exhibits some limitations when dealing with optimization problems with high dimensionality and complex landscape. In this paper, we integrate some problem-oriented knowledge into the design of a certain PSO variant. The resulting novel PSO algorithm with an inner varia...

OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of comorbidities, health care utilization, and costs between moderate-to-severe psoriasis (PsO) patients with comorbid psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and matched controls. METHODS Adults ages 18-64 years with concomitant diagnoses of PsO and PsA (PsO+PsA) were identified in the OptumHealth Reporting and Insights claims database between January 2007 and March 201...
