Particle Swarm Optimization Methods

I came across an interesting article on "mutation assisted particle swarm optimization" with hyperspectral imaging a while back. I implemented it as well as at least one variation. The idea behind it is interesting but the performance is really bad -- slower than Brute! I think I have it programmed correctly, it's just the way it explores the solution space is hit-or-miss. Anyway, it would be easy to add it but I'm holding off for now since the performance is bad. I will continue to play with it as time permits.

This issue just serves to let people know some work has already been done on this method and to check with me before starting any new work along these lines.
