Decentralized Microenvironment-Based Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Insect-Intelligent Building Platform

Information processing and control tasks in each unit within a building are typically completed internally, and information processing within a building naturally exhibits distributed characteristics. The insect-intelligent building platform is an intelligent building platform, and the concept of an insect-intelligent building platform adapts to the distributed processing requirements of building information, achieving features such as self-organization and self-adaptation of the intelligent building platform. The microenvironment network serves as a fundamental network that supports the implementation of an insect-intelligent building platform. Update mechanisms for the velocity and position of particles for PSO in the microenvironment are given. This paper also proposes a Microenvironment-based Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO) algorithm with those update mechanisms to quickly solve optimization problems using PSO under a microenvironment network. Experimental results show that, within microenvironment networks, both synchronous and asynchronous implementations of MPSO algorithms can solve optimization problems faster than the PSO algorithm while maintaining a precision similar to that of the PSO algorithm.
