This study presents a new evolutionary learning algorithm to optimize the parameters of the neural fuzzy classifier (NFC). This new evolutionary learning algorithm is based on a hybrid of bacterial foraging optimization and particle swarm optimization. It is thus called bacterial foraging particle swarm optimization (BFPSO). The proposed BFPSO method performs local search through the chemotacti...

The basic thought of particle swarm optimization is introduced firstly, then particle swarm optimization algorithm model is established. The application of the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to power supply system fault diagnosis is analyzed in accordance with problem of the algorithm, and migration strategy is added to particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally the paramete...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a popular and robust strategy for optimization problems. One main difficulty in applying PSO to real-world applications is that PSO usually need a large number of fitness evaluations before a satisfying result can be obtained. This paper introduces a new ”fast particle swarm optimization” (FPSO) that does not evaluate all new positions owning a fitness and a...

this paper defines how a meta heuristic search engine called p.s.o can be used to maximize the objective function of a logistic regression model, describing the relationship between the response variable (product designs' score) and a set of explanatory variables (product design factors). at the first phase the processed data, classified and categorized, by kansie engineering is used as input t...

one of the main aims of water resource planners and managers is to estimate and predict the parameters of groundwater quality so that they can make managerial decisions. in this regard, there have many models developed, proposing better management in order to maintain water quality. most of these models require input parameters that are either hardly available or time-consuming and expensive to...

in this paper a novel direct adaptive fuzzy system is proposed to control flexible-joints robot including actuator dynamics. the design includes two interior loops: the inner loop controls the motor position using proposed approach while the outer loop controls the joint angle of the robot using a pid control law. one novelty of this paper is the use of a pso algorithm for optimizing the contro...

in this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses ferguson splines and pso (particle swarm optimization). the objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...

regarding the large number of developed particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithms and the various applications for which pso has been used, selecting the most suitable variant of pso for solving a particular optimization problem is a challenge for most researchers. in this paper, using a comprehensive survey and taxonomy on different types of pso, an expert system (es) is designed to identif...

this paper presents a new nonlinear mathematical model to solve a cell formation problem which assumes that processing time and inter-arrival time of parts are random variables. in this research, cells are defined as a queue system which will be optimized via queuing theory. in this queue system, each machine is assumed as a server and each part as a customer. the grouping of machines and parts...
