Hina Agarwal, Zaved Akhtar

Abstract: This paper is focused on the study of the shortcomings of PSO and to generate a new variant of PSO. In this new MPSO variant, the value of parameters has been tuned. Also a new parameter has been added in it. MPSO has been applied on real life problem, i. e. , software cost estimation.
