: This paper discusses the parallelization of Stochastic Evolution (StocE) metaheuristic, for a distributed parallel environment. VLSI cell placement is used as an optimization pro...
In this paper we present an evaluation of selected parallel strategies for Simulated Annealing and Simulated Evolution, identifying the impact of various issues on the effectivene...

Simulated Evolution (SimE) is an evolutionary metaheuristic that has produced results comparable to well established stochastic heuristics such as SA, TS and GA, with shorter runti...
Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
