A novel two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm and application

This paper presents a novel two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm called GA–PSO–ACO algorithm that combines the evolution ideas of the genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization based on the compensation for solving the traveling salesman problem. In the proposed hybrid algorithm, the whole process is divided into two stages. In the first stage, we make use of the randomicity, rapidity and wholeness of the genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization to obtain a series of sub-optimal solutions (rough searching) to adjust the initial allocation of pheromone in the ACO. In the second stage, we make use of these advantages of the parallel, positive feedback and high accuracy of solution to implement solving of whole problem (detailed searching). To verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed hybrid algorithm, various scale benchmark problems from TSPLIB are tested to demonstrate the potential of the proposed two-stage hybrid swarm intelligence optimization algorithm. The simulation examples demonstrate that the GA–PSO–ACO algorithm can greatly improve the computing efficiency for solving the TSP and outperforms the Tabu Search, genetic algorithms, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, PS–ACO and other methods in solution quality. And the experimental results demonstrate that convergence is faster and better when the scale of TSP increases.

Development and investigation of efficient artificial bee colony algorithm for numerical function optimization

Artificial bee colony algorithm (ABC), which is inspired by the foraging behavior of honey bee swarm, is a biological-inspired optimization. It shows more effective than genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and ant colony optimization (ACO). However, ABC is good at exploration but poor at exploitation, and its convergence speed is also an issue in some cases. For these insufficiencies, we propose an improved ABC algorithm called I-ABC. In I-ABC, the best-so-far solution, inertia weight and acceleration coefficients are introduced to modify the search process. Inertia weight and acceleration coefficients are defined as functions of the fitness. In addition, to further balance search processes, the modification forms of the employed bees and the onlooker ones are different in the second acceleration coefficient. Experiments show that, for most functions, the I-ABC has a faster convergence speed and better performances than each of ABC and the gbest-guided ABC (GABC). But I-ABC could not still substantially achieve the best solution for all optimization problems. In a few cases, it could not find better results than ABC or GABC. In order to inherit the bright sides of ABC, GABC and I-ABC, a high-efficiency hybrid ABC algorithm, which is called PS-ABC, is proposed. PS-ABC owns the abilities of prediction and selection. Results show that PS-ABC has a faster convergence speed like I-ABC and better search ability than other relevant methods for almost all functions.     

A hybrid particle swarm optimization for job shop scheduling problem

A hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) for the job shop problem (JSP) is proposed in this paper. In previous research, PSO particles search solutions in a continuous solution space. Since the solution space of the JSP is discrete, we modified the particle position representation, particle movement, and particle velocity to better suit PSO for the JSP. We modified the particle position based on preference list-based representation, particle movement based on swap operator, and particle velocity based on the tabu list concept in our algorithm. Giffler and Thompson’s heuristic is used to decode a particle position into a schedule. Furthermore, we applied tabu search to improve the solution quality. The computational results show that the modified PSO performs better than the original design, and that the hybrid PSO is better than other traditional metaheuristics.     

Hyper-Spherical Search (HSS) algorithm: a novel meta-heuristic algorithm to optimize nonlinear functions

This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm called Hyper-Spherical Search (HSS) algorithm. Like other evolutionary algorithms, the proposed algorithm starts with an initial population. Population individuals are of two types: particles and hyper-sphere centers that all together form particle sets. Searching the hyper-sphere inner space made by the hyper-sphere center and its particle is the basis of the proposed evolutionary algorithm. The HSS algorithm hopefully converges to a state at which there exists only one hyper-sphere center, and its particles are at the same position and have the same cost function value as the hyper-sphere center. Applying the proposed algorithm to some benchmark cost functions shows its ability in dealing with different types of optimization problems. The proposed method is compared with the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and harmony search algorithm (HSA). The results show that the HSS algorithm has faster convergence and results in better solutions than GA, PSO and HSA.     

A novel hybrid PSO–GWO approach for unit commitment problem

Particle swarm optimization algorithm is a inhabitant-based stochastic search procedure, which provides a populace-based search practice for getting the best solution from the problem by taking particles and moving them around in the search space and efficient for global search. Grey Wolf Optimizer is a recently developed meta-heuristic search algorithm inspired by Canis-lupus. This research paper presents solution to single-area unit commitment problem for 14-bus system, 30-bus system and 10-generating unit model using swarm-intelligence-based particle swarm optimization algorithm and a hybrid PSO–GWO algorithm. The effectiveness of proposed algorithms is compared with classical PSO, PSOLR, HPSO, hybrid PSOSQP, MPSO, IBPSO, LCA–PSO and various other evolutionary algorithms, and it is found that performance of NPSO is faster than classical PSO. However, generation cost of hybrid PSO–GWO is better than classical and novel PSO, but convergence of hybrid PSO–GWO is much slower than NPSO due to sequential computation of PSO and GWO.

Research on Web service selection based on cooperative evolution

Web service selection, as an important part of Web service composition, has direct influence on the quality of composite service. Therefore, it has attracted many researchers to focus on the research of quality of service (QoS) driven Web service selection in the past years, and many algorithms based on integer programming (IP), mixed integer linear programming (MILP), multi-dimension multi-choice 0–1 knapsack problem (MMKP), Markov decision programming (MDP), genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO) and so on, have been presented to solve it, respectively. However, these results have not been satisfied at all yet. In this paper, a new cooperative evolution (Co-evolution) algorithm consists of stochastic particle swarm optimization (SPSO) and simulated annealing (SA) is presented to solve the Web service selection problem (WSSP). Furthermore, in view of the practical Web service composition requirements, an algorithm used to resolve the service selection with multi-objective and QoS global optimization is presented based on SPSO and the intelligent optimization theory of multi-objective PSO, which can produce a set of Pareto optimal composite services with constraint principles by means of optimizing various objective functions simultaneously. Experimental results show that Co-evolution algorithm owns better global convergence ability with faster convergence speed. Meanwhile, multi-objective SPSO is both feasible and efficient.     

Study on hybrid PS-ACO algorithm

Ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm is a recent meta-heuristic method inspired by the behavior of real ant colonies. The algorithm uses parallel computation mechanism and performs strong robustness, but it faces the limitations of stagnation and premature convergence. In this paper, a hybrid PS-ACO algorithm, ACO algorithm modified by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, is presented. The pheromone updating rules of ACO are combined with the local and global search mechanisms of PSO. On one hand, the search space is expanded by the local exploration; on the other hand, the search process is directed by the global experience. The local and global search mechanisms are combined stochastically to balance the exploration and the exploitation, so that the search efficiency can be improved. The convergence analysis and parameters selection are given through simulations on traveling salesman problems (TSP). The results show that the hybrid PS-ACO algorithm has better convergence performance than genetic algorithm (GA), ACO and MMAS under the condition of limited evolution iterations.
