A particle-swarm is a set of indivisible processing elements that traverse a network in order to perform a distributed function. This paper will describe a particular implementation of a particle-swarm that can simulate the behavior of the popular PageRank algorithm in both its global-rank and relative-rank incarnations. PageRank is compared against the particleswarm method on artificially gene...

This paper presents an efficient hybrid method, namely fuzzy particleswarm optimization (FPSO) and fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithms, to solve the fuzzyclustering problem, especially for large sizes. When the problem becomes large, theFCM algorithm may result in uneven distribution of data, making it difficult to findan optimal solution in reasonable amount of time. The PSO algorithm does find ago...

to achieve an excellent thermal-mechanical performance of cmcs, it is necessary to analyze and design the thickness of the multi-layered interphases for an optimized trs distribution. an optimization was performed with a new version of the particle swarm optimization, the bsg-starcraft radius pso linked to a finite element software.

The density of chip power dissipation has been increasing steadily over the past several years. High operating temperatures and the existence of hotspots are degrading chip performance and undermining chip reliability. Reducing maximum on-chip temperatures is becoming increasingly important as technology scales below 65 nm. Existing thermal floorplanner compact blocks at the lowest leftmost pos...

In this paper Power system stability enhancement through static synchronous compensator (STATCOM)based controller is investigated. The potential of the STATCOM supplementary controllers to enhance thedynamic stability is evaluated. The design problem of STATCOM based damping controller is formulatedas an optimization problem according to the eigenvalue based objective function that is solved by...

This paper examines the inherited persistent behavior of particle swarm optimization and its implications to cognitive machines. The performance of the algorithm is studied through an average particle’s trajectory through the parameter space of the Sphere and Rastrigin function. The trajectories are decomposed into position and velocity along each dimension optimized. A threshold is defined to ...
