Title of Tutorial Session

A glimpse of Evolutionary Computing with Comprehensive demonstration of PSO and GA

Knowledge level of participants/audience: Participants with basic mathematics level and with elementary understanding of logic/programming can attend this tutorial.

Abstract

The tutorial session aims to design a framework for EC (Evolutionary Computing) and its significance in solving optimization problems. The tutorial will cover following topics in details from their basics to advanced states

i. Introduction to EC and its major techniques

ii. Why EC and where it is most suitable?

iii. What is meant by soft computing and how is EC associated to it?

iv. Particle Swarm Optimization PSO

v. Representation of problem and fitness in PSO

vi. PSO parameters

vii. Formation of a swarm and various topology of PSO

viii. PSO Algorithms

ix. Recent developments in PSO

x. Genetic Algorithms GA: A biological understanding

xi. Components of GA

xii. Terminology used in GA

xiii. A classical model of GA

xiv. Population and its representation

xv. Selection schemes

xvi. Reproduction or crossover schemes

xvii. Types of mutation

xviii. Selection of population for new generation, elitism and other schemes

xix. GA parameters and their control

xx. Advantages of using GA

xxi. Limitations of GA

xxii. PSO Vs GA

xxiii. Illustrating PSO and GA with an example each

xxiv. Applications of EC
