A Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm with Communication Strategies

TLDR
A parallel version of the particle swarm optimization (PPSO) algorithm together with three communication strategies which can be used according to the independence of the data, which demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed PPSO algorithm.
Abstract
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is an alternative population-based evolutionary computation technique. It has been shown to be capable of optimizing hard mathematical problems in continuous or binary space. We present here a parallel version of the particle swarm optimization (PPSO) algorithm together with three communication strategies which can be used according to the independence of the data. The first strategy is designed for solution parameters that are independent or are only loosely correlated, such as the Rosenbrock and Rastrigrin functions. The second communication strategy can be applied to parameters that are more strongly correlated such as the Griewank function. In cases where the properties of the parameters are unknown, a third hybrid communication strategy can be used. Experimental results demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed PPSO algorithm.
