This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using a Bak-Sneppen model to self-adaptively control three parameters (ω, c, ρ) of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The BS-PSO method was tested on benchmark optimization problems and showed competitive performance compared to other PSO variants without requiring hand-tuning of parameters. Future work is suggested to test the method in dynamic environments, investigate scalability, and further study the critical state behavior of the Bak-Sneppen model.
