Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been widely used to solve real-valued optimization problems. A variant of PSO, namely, binary particle swarm optimization (BinPSO) has been previously developed to solve discrete optimization problems. Later, many studies have been done to improve BinPSO in term...
