Abstract

Evolutionary Computation (EC) is a recent and lively area of study. Some of the recent approaches within EC are particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE), while one of the latest to be developed is Firefly Algorithm (FA): all of which can be used in optimisation problems. This paper makes a comparison of the effectiveness of these three methods on a specific optimisation problem, specifically tuning the parameters of a PID controller.
