Parallel Global Optimization Algorithms (PGOA) provide an efficient way of dealing with hard optimization problems. One method of parallelization of GOAs that is frequently applie...
In this paper an island model is described for the unconstrained Binary Quadratic Problem (BQP), which can be used with up to 2500 binary variables. Our island model uses a master...
The island model for evolutionary algorithms allows to delay the global convergence of the evolution process and encourage diversity. However, solving large size and time-intensiv...
This paper discusses a new model of parallel evolutionary algorithms (EAs) called the specialized island model (SIM) that can be used to generate a set of diverse non-dominated sol...
Abstract. We present an island model that uses different representations in each island. The model transforms individuals from one representation to another during migrations. We ...
In this paper, we present a study on the fault tolerance nature of the island model when applied to Genetic Algorithms. Parallel and distributed models have been extensively appli...
