New Trends in Parallel and Distributed Evolutionary Computing

Abstract

The paper overviews existing models and new tendencies observed in the current literature concerning parallel and distributed evolutionary computation. Sources of parallelism, ways of exploring it and forms of a distributed control of execution of parallel evolutionary algorithms are discussed. Some taxonomy of parallel and distributed computation is proposed. The most known or promising computational schemes are overviewed.

Keywords
