Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
Abstract. This paper presents a Parallel Hybrid Evolutionary Metaheuristic for the Period Vehicle Routing Problem PVRP. The PRVP generalizes the classical Vehicle Routing Problem b...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
Abstract— We propose an asynchronous island-model algorithm distribution framework and test the popular Differential Evolution algorithm performance when a few processors are ava...
