This paper reports on the development of a novel island model for evolutionary algorithms, which is intrinsically parallel and intended to better utilise resources and outlier sol...
This paper presents an analytical performance prediction model that can be used to predict the speedup and similar performance metrics of four approximate string searching implemen...
