World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing   
   (NaBIC'09), Coimbatore, India,   
      
   Special Session on Recent Advances in the development Particle Swarm   
   Optimization for Global Optimization Problems   
      
   Most of the real life problems occurring in the field of science and   
   engineering may be modeled   
   as nonlinear optimization problems, which may be Unimodal or   
   multimodal. Multimodal   
   problems are generally considered more difficult to solve because of   
   the presence of several   
   local and global optima. Generally the user is interested in   
   determining the global solution of   
   the problem. Particle Swarm Optimization is an attractive global   
   optimization method inspired   
   the socio-cooperative behavior shown by various species. It is a   
   relatively a newer addition to   
   the class of evolutionary computation family. This method has been   
   successfully applied to a   
   wide range of real-world application problems. This special session   
   seeks to bring forward and   
   highlight the latest developments in this promising research area by   
   bringing together   
   researchers and practitioners. Authors are invited to submit their   
   original and unpublished   
   work to this Special Session.   
      
   Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:   
      
   - Theory of Particle Swarm Optimization   
   - Parameter settings   
   - Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization   
   - Multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization   
   - Particle Swarm Optimization for noisy problems   
   - Particle Swarm Optimization for constrained optimization   
   - Hybridization of Particle Swarm Optimization with local search and   
   other soft computing   
   approaches   
   - Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization with other Techniques   
   - Parallel implementation   
   - Real world/ novel applications
