Particle swarm optimization based on dynamic niche technology with applications to conceptual design

Based on the standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm together with the widely used dynamic niche technology, this paper presents a new variation combined with the dynamic niche sharing technique on the basis of traditional PSO algorithm. We proposed a cooperative particle swarm optimization model with cooperative multi-population. Applications are given on creative conceptual architectural design.
