Abstract

Brain Storm Optimization (BSO), which is an effective swarm intelligence method inspired by the human brainstorming process, has shown promising results in solving static optimization problems. However, The search spaces of many real-world problems change over time, in which the original BSO and its variants are not able to cope with. This paper extends BSO as an adaptive multi-population based algorithm, i.e., mBSO, to solve dynamic optimization problems (DOPs). Firstly, a modified BSO, which uses new update mechanisms independent from the maximum number of iterations and objective space grouping method, is proposed. Then, the modified BSO is embedded in a multi-population framework. Several mechanisms such as convergence detection, exclusion, and re-diversification are employed to address the challenging issues of DOPs. The moving peaks benchmark (MPB) is used to evaluate the performance of mBSO along with comparison with other state-of-the-art methods. The outcome indicates the efficiency of the proposed mBSO in locating optima and tracking them after environmental changes.
