Abstract: The assessment and forecast for atmospheric quality have become the key problem in the study of the quality of atmospheric environment. In order to evaluate the grade of the atmospheric pollution, a model based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed in this paper. Experimental results show the advantages of the proposed models, such as pellucid principle and physical explication, predigested formula and low computation complexity. In addition, the output-input feedback Elman (OIF Elman) neural network is also applied to forecast the atmospheric quality. Simulations show that the OIF Elman neural network has great potential in the field of forecasting the atmospheric quality.

Title: A hybrid particle swarm optimization model for the traveling salesman problem

Abstract: This work presents a new hybrid model, based on Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithms and Fast Local Search, for the blind traveling salesman problem. A detailed description of the model is provided. The implemented system was tested with instances from 76 to 2103 cities. For instances up to 299 cities, results are less than 1% in excess of the known optima. In the average, for all instances, results are 3.8317 % in excess. These excellent results encourage further research and improvement in the hybrid model

Title: Perceptive Particle Swarm Optimisation

Abstract: Conventional particle swarm optimisation relies on exchanging information through social interaction among individuals. However for real-world problems involving control of physical agents (i.e., robot control), such detailed social interaction is not always possible. In this study, we propose the Perceptive Particle Swarm Optimisation algorithm, in which both social interaction and environmental interaction are increased to mimic behaviours of social animals more closely.

Abstract: In this paper, we present the optimization of logistic processes in supply chains using the meta-heuristic algorithm known as wasp swarm, which draws parallels between the process to optimize and the way individuals in wasp colonies interact and allocate tasks to meet the demands of the nest.

Title: A Parallel Vector-Based Particle Swarm Optimizer
Author(s): I. L Schoeman,

Abstract: Several rechniques have been employed to adapt particle swarm techniques to find multiple optimal solutions in a problem domain. Niching algorithms have to identify good candidate solutions among a population of particles in order to split the space into regions where an optimal solution may be found. Subsequently the swarm must be optimized so that particles contained inside the niches will converge on multiple optimal solutions. This paper presents an improved vector-based particle swarm optimizer where subswarms contained in niches are optimized in parallel.
