Plan (future work)

Description	Start date	Deadline	Time required	Status
Implementation of some (at least the most influential) variants of PSO. This implementation should be modular and flexible enough to generate ad-hoc PSO versions and incorporate hybrid approaches easily. The language of choice will be C in order to reuse code developed by others.	Nov 30, 2005	Dec 15, 2005 (Design) Jan 10, 2006 (Implementation)	~40 days	In progress
Propose a PSO variant based on the F-Race technique. If the implementation is modular, it should be possible to consider various aspects such as neighborhood topologies as variables to be tuned and therefore, we could get ad-hoc PSO algorithms for specific applications.	Nov 30, 2005	Jan 2, 2006	~30 days	In progress
Comparison of all the different PSO variants and other EC techniques including ACO_R on a variety of benchmark problems. Some of them are already coded and some others are proposed in the literature. This will contrast with previous and current practices in which only a small number of benchmark problems are used.	Jan 1, 2006	Jan 31, 2006	~30 days	Not yet started
