Validating design choices in a pool-based distributed evolutionary algorithms architecture

This paper studies SofEA, an architecture for distributing evolutionary algorithms (EAs) across computer networks in an asynchronous and decentralized way. SofEA is based on a pool architecture which is implemented using an object store interacting ...

Cloud computing, in general, is becoming part of the toolset that the scientist uses to perform compute-intensive tasks. In particular, cloud storage is an easy and convenient way of storing files that will be accessible over the Internet, but also a ...

This paper proposes the use of the q-Gaussian mutation with self-adaptation of the shape of the mutation distribution in evolutionary algorithms. The shape of the q-Gaussian mutation distribution is controlled by a real parameter q. In the proposed ...
