Abstract
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) performance is sensitive to the control parameter values used, but tuning of control parameters for the problem at hand is computationally expensive. Self-adaptive particle swarm optimization (SAPSO) algorithms attempt to adjust control parameters during the optimization process, ideally without introducing additional control parameters to which the performance is sensitive. This paper proposes a belief space (BS) approach, borrowed from cultural algorithms (CAs), towards development of a SAPSO. The resulting BS-SAPSO utilizes a belief space to direct the search for optimal control parameter values by excluding non-promising configurations from the control parameter space. The resulting BS-SAPSO achieves an improvement in performance of 3–55% above the various baselines, based on the solution quality of the objective function values achieved on the functions tested.
期刊介绍:
Swarm Intelligence is the principal peer-reviewed publication dedicated to reporting on research
and developments in the multidisciplinary field of swarm intelligence. The journal publishes
original research articles and occasional review articles on theoretical, experimental and/or
practical aspects of swarm intelligence. All articles are published both in print and in electronic
form. There are no page charges for publication. Swarm Intelligence is published quarterly.
The field of swarm intelligence deals with systems composed of many individuals that coordinate
using decentralized control and self-organization. In particular, it focuses on the collective
behaviors that result from the local interactions of the individuals with each other and with their
environment. It is a fast-growing field that encompasses the efforts of researchers in multiple
disciplines, ranging from ethology and social science to operations research and computer
engineering.
Swarm Intelligence will report on advances in the understanding and utilization of swarm
intelligence systems, that is, systems that are based on the principles of swarm intelligence. The
following subjects are of particular interest to the journal:
• modeling and analysis of collective biological systems such as social insect colonies, flocking
vertebrates, and human crowds as well as any other swarm intelligence systems;
• application of biological swarm intelligence models to real-world problems such as distributed
computing, data clustering, graph partitioning, optimization and decision making;
• theoretical and empirical research in ant colony optimization, particle swarm optimization,
swarm robotics, and other swarm intelligence algorithms.
