Abstract

Nature-Inspired (NI) Toolbox is a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based toolbox which is developed in the MATLAB environment. It has been released under General Public License and hosted at SourceForge.net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/nitool/). The purpose of this toolbox is to facilitate the users/designers in design and optimization of their systems. This chapter discusses the fundamental concepts of PSO algorithms in the initial sections, followed by discussions and illustrations of benchmark optimization functions. Various modules of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of NI Toolbox are explained with necessary figures and snapshots. In the ending sections, simulations results present comparative performance of various PSO models with concluding remarks.
