Abstract
The study manipulated the neighborhood topologies of particle swarms optimizing four test functions. Several social network structures were tested, with "small-world" randomization of a specified number of links. Sociometric structure and the small-world manipulation interacted with function to produce a significant effect on performance.Keywords
