IEEE Swarm Optimization Sysmposium, Indianapolis (Indiana), USA, May 2006

This paper presents some new ideas to improve the performance of EPSO (Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization). It discusses a Stochastic Star communication scheme and differential dEPSO. The paper presents results in a didactic Unit Commitment/Generator Scheduling Power System problem and results of a competition among algorithms in an intelligent agent platform for Energy Retail Market simulation where EPSO comes out as the winner algorithm. [this is not DEEPSO but a preliminary hybrid of DE with EPSO - interesting, though]
