New approaches of particle swarm optimisation algorithm based on Gaussian and Cauchy distributions to adjust the control points of B-spline neural networks are proposed. B-spline networks are trained by gradient-based methods, which may fall into local minimum during the learning procedure. To overcome the problems encountered by the conventional learning methods, particle swarm optimisation  ...

in this paper, a new enhanced version of the particle swarm optimization (pso) is presented. an important modification is made by adding probabilistic functions into pso, and it is named probabilistic particle swarm optimization (ppso). since the variation of the velocity of particles in pso constitutes its search engine, it should provide two phases of optimization process which are: explorati...

Economic load dispatch is a non linear optimization problem which is of great importance in power systems . While analytical methods suffer from slow conversion and curse of dimensionality particle swarm optimization can be an efficient alternative to solve large scale non linear optimization problem.A lot of advancements have been done to modify this algorithm. This paper presents an overview ...

For a decade swarm Intelligence, an artificial intelligence discipline, is concerned with the design of intelligent multi-agent systems by taking inspiration from the collective behaviors of social insects and other animal societies. They are characterized by a decentralized way of working that mimics the behavior of the swarm. Swarm Intelligence is a successful paradigm for the algorithm with ...

Swarm Intelligence algorithms have proved to be very effective in solving problems on many aspects of Artificial Intelligence. This paper constitutes a first study of the recently proposed Unified Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm on scheduling problems. More specifically, the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness problem is considered, and tackled through a scheme that combines Unified P...

Swarm robots are special multi-robots and usually considered being controlled with swarm intelligence-basedmethod to complete some assigned complex tasks (Dorigo and Sahin, 2004). Similar to the biological counterparts in nature, swarm intelligence among such artificial system is emerged from local interactions between individual robots or individual robot and its environment (Beni, 2005; Şahin...

Swarm intelligence (SI) is an Artificial Intelligence technique based on the study of collective behaviour in decentralized, selforganizing systems. It enables relatively simple agents to collectively perform complex tasks, which could not be performed by individual agents separately. Particles can interact either directly or indirectly (through the environment). The key to maintain global, sel...

The paper proposed a network scheduling in cloud computing based on intelligence Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm aimed at the disadvantages of cloud computing network scheduling. Firstly, on the basis of cloud model, used intelligence Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with strong ability of global searching to find the better solution of cloud computing network scheduling then turned ...

In recent days, Swarm Intelligence plays an important role in solving many real life optimization problems. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is swarm intelligence based search and optimization algorithm which is used to solve global optimization problems. But due to lack of population diversity and premature convergence it is often trapped into local optima. We can increase diversity and preve...

In this work, a novel approach of merging two swarm intelligence algorithms is considered – one mimicking the behaviour of ants foraging (Stochastic Diffusion Search [5]) and the other algorithm simulating the behaviour of birds flocking (Particle Swarm Optimisation [17]). This hybrid algorithm is assisted by a mechanism inspired from the behaviour of skeletal muscles activated by motor neurons...
