Abstract
This chapter will deal with the problem of searching higher dimensional spaces using glowworm swarm optimization (GSO), a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, which was recently proposed for simultaneous capture of multiple optima of multimodal functions. Tests are performed on a set of three benchmark functions and the average peak-capture fraction is used as an index to analyze GSO’s performance as a function of dimension number. Results reported from tests conducted up to a maximum of eight dimensions show the efficacy of GSO in capturing multiple peaks in high dimensions. With an ability to search for local peaks of a function (which is the measure of fitness) in high dimensions, GSO can be applied to identification of multiple data clusters, satisfying some measure of fitness defined on the data, in high dimensional databases.
