2000 - Cooperative Learning in Neural Networks using Particle Swarm Optimizers - A paper by Frans van den Bergh and Andries P. Engelbrecht, South Africa. The interesting point is that they split the input vectors to several sub-vectors, each which is optimized cooperatively in its own swarm. - http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/vandenbergh00cooperative.html
2002 - Adaptive Control Utilising Neural Swarming - PSO is used to adjust the network weights, with the Adaptive Neural Swarming method, the controller could adapt to environmental changes. It is tested in a real-world task of controlling a simulated non-linear bioreactor. - http://www.chemeng.sun.ac.za/Content/gecco2002.pdf
2001 - Practical Distribution State Estimation Using Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization - A hybrid PSO is proposed by introduction of the natural selection mechanism. The authors demonstrated hybrid PSO is better than original version on distribution state estimation problems. - http://homepage2.nifty.com/fukuyama-yoshikazu/HPSODSE%20fukuyama.PDF
2000 - Adapting Particle Swarm Optimization to Dynamic Environments - In this paper the authors propose a method for adapting the particle swarm optimizer for dynamic environments. The process consists of causing each particle to reset its record of its best position as the environment changes, to avoid making direction - http://antho.huntingdon.edu/publications/Adapting_PSO_to_Dynamic_Env.pdf
1995 - Particle Swarm Optimization - A concept for the optimization of nonlinear functions using particle swarm methodology by James Kennedy & Russell Eberhart. This is the first paper talking about PSO. - http://www.engr.iupui.edu/~shi/Coference/psopap4.html
