Quantum PSO and Charged PSO (PSO = Particle Swarm Optimizer)

Hi Guys I need to implement PSO's (namely charged and quantum PSO's). My questions are these: What Velocity Update strategy do each PSO's use (Synchronous or Asynchronous particle update) What social networking topology does each of the PSO's use (Von Neumann, Ring, Star, Wheel, Pyramid, Four Clusters) For now, these are my issues....

Is this java project idea practical? (Thread scheduler and Particle Swarm Optimization)

On a multicore box, the java thread schedulers decisions are rather arbitrary, it assigns thread priorities based on when the thread was created, from which thread it was created etc. The idea is to run a tuning process using pso that would randomly set thread priorities and then eventually reach optimal priorities where the fitness fun...

Implementation of Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm in R

Hi everybody, I'm checking a simple moving average crossing strategy in R. Instead of running a huge simulation over the 2 dimenional parameter space (length of short term moving average, length of long term moving average), I'd like to implement the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to find the optimal parameter values. I've been b...
