In order to overcome the basic glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm in the high dimension space function optimization effect is poor defects. This paper, we introduce the idea of the traditional complex method, with the complex method the worst part of the glowworm guidance for reflection be good glowworm swarm, so as to continuously make the worst glowworm swarm become the better glowwo...

Blind source separation technique separates mixed signals blindly without any information on the mixing system. In this paper, we have used two evolutionary algorithms, namely, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization for blind source separation. In these techniques a novel fitness function that is based on the mutual information and high order statistics is proposed. In order to evalu...

Swarm intelligence is a research branch that models the population of interacting agents or swarms that are able to self-organize. An ant colony, a flock of birds or an immune system is a typical example of a swarm system. Bees’ swarming around their hive is another example of swarm intelligence. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm is an optimization algorithm based on the intelligent behavio...

This paper presents a new multi-objective optimization algorithm in which multi-swarm cooperative strategy is incorporated into particle swarm optimization algorithm, called multi-swarm cooperative multi-objective particle swarm optimizer (MC-MOPSO). This algorithm consists of multiple slave swarms and one master swarm. Each slave swarm is designed to optimize one objective function of the mult...

The Vector Evaluated Particle Swarm Optimisation algorithm is widely used to solve multiobjective optimisation problems. This algorithm optimises one objective using a swarm of particles where their movements are guided by the best solution found by another swarm. However, the best solution of a swarm is only updated when a newly generated solution has better fitness than the best solution at t...

Formation of effective teams of experts has played a crucial role in successful projects especially in social networks. In this paper, a new particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed for solving a team formation optimization problem by minimizing the communication cost among experts. The proposed algorithm is called by improved particle optimization with new swap operator (IPSONSO...
