Abstract
Particle Swarm Optimization is a population based stochastic Optimization technique. The method selects a set of randomly selected Solutions called the population and searches for an optimal solution by Moving the initial solutions, called particles, in the direction of the optimum particle. Particle Swarm optimization, to be referred to as, PSO, is an evolutionary computation method quite different from the Genetic Algorithm. In the tutorial basic features of PSO will be discussed. A few applications of the algorithm will be demonstrated to bring out its special features.
