A novel binary-state immune particle swarm optimization algorithm (BIPSO) is proposed. In order to enhance the exploration capacity of the algorithm while avoiding premature stagnation, the meta-heuristics allows for two states of behavior of the particles, a gather state and an explore state, during the search. During the iterations, the population is divided into two parts. The elitist learning strategy is applied to the elitist particles in order to help them to jump out of local optimal regions when the search identifies them to be in the gather state. An exploration strategy is proposed to encourage particles in the explore state to escape from the local region. Moreover, in order to increase the diversity of the population and to improve the search capabilities of the PSO algorithm, clone selection and receptor editing are introduced. Experiments on several benchmarks show that the proposed method is capable of improving the search performance. It is efficient in tackling high dimensional multimodal optimization problems. rv:
