Abstract
Computational intelligence is an emerging field in computer science which combines fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms for a flexible yet powerful approach to scientific computing. Because computational intelligence combines three interrelated, mathematically-based tools, it has a wide variety of applications, from engineering and process control to experts systems. This book takes a hands-on, desktop-applications approach to the topic, featuring examples of specific real-world implementations and detailed case studies, with all pertinent code and software included on a floppy disk packaged with the book. Features: * Concise introduction to the concepts of fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms, and how they relate to one another within the context of computational intelligence. * Computational intellignece applications, including self-organizing feature maps, fuzzy calculator, evolutionary programming, and fuzzy neural networks. * Detailed case studies from engineering (F-16 flight system), systems control (mass transit scheduling), and medicine (appendicitis diagnosis). * Windows floppy disk with both source code and executable, self-contained programs for desktop implementation of all of the book's applications.

A modified particle swarm optimizer

TL;DR: A new parameter, called inertia weight, is introduced into the original particle swarm optimizer, which resembles a school of flying birds since it adjusts its flying according to its own flying experience and its companions' flying experience.

Comparing inertia weights and constriction factors in particle swarm optimization

TL;DR: It is concluded that the best approach is to use the constriction factor while limiting the maximum velocity Vmax to the dynamic range of the variable Xmax on each dimension.
