A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
The simplicity and robustness of unstructured P2P system make it a preferable architecture for constructing real large scale file sharing system. Most of the existing paradigms re...
