Description/Abstract

This paper describes a successful adaptation of the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm to discrete optimization problems. In the proposed algorithm, particles cycle through multiple phases with differing goals. We also exploit hill climbing. On benchmark problems, this algorithm outperforms a genetic algorithm and a previous discrete PSO formulation.
