AB  - An improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve 
      reliability problems in this paper. The IPSO designs two position updating 
      strategies: In the early iterations, each particle flies and searches according 
      to its own best experience with a large probability; in the late iterations, each 
      particle flies and searches according to the fling experience of the most 
      successful particle with a large probability. In addition, the IPSO introduces a 
      mutation operator after position updating, which can not only prevent the IPSO 
      from trapping into the local optimum, but also enhances its space developing 
      ability. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has stronger 
      convergence and stability than the other four particle swarm optimization 
      algorithms on solving reliability problems, and that the solutions obtained by 
      the IPSO are better than the previously reported best-known solutions in the 
      recent literature.
