Abstract. We study the implementation on grid systems of an efficient algorithm for demanding global optimization problems. Specifically, we consider problems arising in the geneti...
ParaDisEO is a framework dedicated to the design of parallel and distributed metaheuristics including local search methods and evolutionary algorithms. This paper focuses on the la...
Abstract. The rooted delay-constrained minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising for example in the design of centralized broadcasting ...
In this paper we incorporate autonomous agents' capability to perform parallel interactions into the cooperative search model, resulting in a new method which outperforms the...
Abstract. To practically solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, local search algorithms and their parallel implementations on PVM or MPI have been frequently discussed....
