This paper presents the performance of Integrated Bacterial Foraging Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization (IBFO_PSO) technique in MANET routing. The BFO is a bioinspired algorithm, which simulates the foraging behavior of bacteria. It is effectively applied in improving the routing performance in MANET. In results, it is proved that the PSO integrated with BFO reduces routing delay, ene...

A hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) for multi-machine time scheduling problem (MTSP) with multicycles is proposed in this paper to choose the best starting time for each machine in each cycle under pre-described time window and a set of precedence machines for each machine; to minimize the total penalty cost. We developed hybrid algorithm by using a combination between PSO and Genetic Al...

For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...

The particle swarm optimization algorithm was showed to converge rapidly during the initial stages of a global search, but around global optimum, the search process will become very slow. On the contrary, the gradient descending method can achieve faster convergent speed around global optimum, and at the same time, the convergent accuracy can be higher. So in this paper, a hybrid algorithm comb...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid algorithm namely APSO-BFO which combines merits of Bacterial Foraging Optimization (BFO) algorithm and Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm to determine the optimal PID parameters for control of nonlinear systems. To balance between exploration and exploitation, the proposed hybrid algorithm accomplishes global search over the whole search spa...

Swarm Intelligence algorithms have been extensively applied to solve optimization problems. However, some of them, such as Particle Swarm Optimization, may not present the ability to generate diversity after environmental changes. In this paper we propose a hybrid algorithm to overcome this problem by applying a very interesting feature of the Fish School Search algorithm to the Particle Swarm ...
