for all conditions tested. The ability to track a 10-dimensional function was

demonstrated.

Now that we’ve seen how particle swarm optimization works and some of the

exciting developments that have occurred recently, let’s look at how to get more

information about it.

Resources

Three main categories of resources are available with respect to particle swarm

optimization: books, web sites, and technical papers. The first book to include a sec-

tion on par ticle swarm optimization was Eberhart, Simpson and Dobbins (1996).

See Kennedy and Eberhart (1999) for a book chapter on PSO. An entire
