Swarm Optimization tequnique was modified by authors into a couple of improved versions. Then they are applid to ten test-functions and two real-world problems to show author's modifications work more effectively than traditional one. Good paper. The experiments and description of them are cleary made. (1) Authors should try to avoid using abbreviations like ATREPSO. (2) Not a few INDENTs were forgotten. (3) Variables and equation should all be italycised. And most importantly: (4) Rationale of 10 selections of test functions should be explicitely described. Why these 10 among many others? No redundancy in these 10, that is, are less of these ten enough? 6,3,5, oral,2,3,2,none Review Paper ID - 42 Particle Swarm Based Meta-heuristics for Function Optimization And Engineering Applications The experiments and description of them are cleary made. try to avoid using abbrebiation in abstract "PSO was first ...
