A brief explanation of PSO<br />

• Population: set of candidate solutions tested in one time<br />

step, consists of m particles (e.g., m = 20)<br />

• Particle: represent a candidate solution; it is characterized<br />

by a velocity vector v and a position vector x in the<br />

hyperspace of dimension D(32). In our case, it is e-pucks.<br />

• Evaluation span: evaluation period of each candidate<br />

solution during one a time step. In our case 128 time step<br />

• Fitness function: measurement of efficacy of a given<br />

candidate solution during the evaluation span<br />

• Population manager: update velocities and position for<br />

each particle according to the main PSO loop.<br />

• Principles: imitate, evaluate, compare
