GENERAL DISCUSSIONS

Birds are intelligent and there is lot to learn

Wright Brothers - Birds of a Feather

The Wright Brothers spent a great deal oftime observing birds in flight. Theynoticed that birds soared into the windand that the air flowing over the curvedsurface of their wings created lift. Birdschange the shape of their wings to turnand maneuver. They believed that theycould use this technique to obtain roll

control by warping, or changing theshape, of a portion of the wing.

GENERAL DISCUSSIONS


PARTICLE SWARM INTELLIGENCE

Whydoes flockingoccur so much in

nature?

Energy savings: Geese in V

formation have around a 70%

greater range than in flying

individually. Individuals can

fly around 25% faster(why?).

As stated before, PSO simulates the behaviors of birdflocking. Suppose the following scenario: a group ofbirds are randomly searching food in an area. There isonly one piece of food in the area being searched. Allthe birds do not know where the food is. But they

know how far the food is in each iteration. So what'sthe best strategy to find the food? The effective one isto follow the bird which is nearest to the food.

PSO learned from the scenario and used it to solvethe optimization problems. In PSO, each single

solution is a "bird" in the search space. We call it"particle". All of particles have fitness values whichare evaluated by the fitness function to be optimized,and have velocities which direct the flying of theparticles. The particles fly through the problem spaceby following the current optimum particles.
