Recently, much progress has been made on particle swarm optimization (PSO). A number of works have been devoted to analyzing the convergence of the underlying algorithms. Nevertheless, in most cases, rather simplified hypotheses are used.…

This paper presents a method for choosing a Particle Swarm Optimization based optimizer for the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem on the basis of the initially available data of a given problem instance. The optimization algorithm is chosen…

Particle swarm optimization comes under lot of changes after James Kennedy and Russell Eberhart first proposes the idea in 1995. The changes has been done mainly on Inertia parameters in velocity updating equation so that the convergence…

Convolutional Neural Networks (ConvNets or CNNs) have been candidly deployed in the scope of computer vision and related fields. Nevertheless, the dynamics of training of these neural networks lie still elusive: it is hard and…

Robot swarms, systems of many robots that operate in a distributed fashion, have many applications in areas such as search-and-rescue, natural disaster response, and self-assembly. Several of these applications can be abstracted to the…

The decreased size and cost of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) has enabled the use of swarms of unmanned autonomous vehicles to accomplish a variety of tasks. By utilizing swarming behaviors, it is…
