Paper Abstract:
|
The theory of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was developed when creating computer simulations of a flock of birds.
The concept consists of, at each time step, changing the velocity of acceleration of each particle toward the best solution
it has achieved so far and toward the best solution obtained so far by the neighboring particles. A review of the theory
and previous applications of PSO was undertaken with the aim of providing a list of potential or desirable applications of
PSO into some real world problems usually requiring integer optimization and heuristic techniques for their solution. We
do not have a nice version of PSO that allows us to deal with integer problems, but the logical conclusion of the review is
that such a version is required and little research has been carried out on this problem to date. |
