Abstract

We introduce Division of Labor (DoL) from social insects to improve local optimisation of the Particle Swarm Optimiser (PSO). We compared the performance with the basic PSO, a GA and simulated annealing and found improvements around local optima. The PSO with DoL outperforms the basic PSO on most testcases and is comparable in local optimisation with SA.
