Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience Journal (www.scpe.org)
is planning a Special Issue on "Parallel Evolutionary Algorithms"
Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are computer-based solving systems, which
use evolutionary computational models as a key element in their design
and implementation. They have a conceptual base of simulating the
evolution of individual structures via the Darwinian natural selection
process. EA's has been widely accepted for solving several important
practical applications in engineering, business, commerce etc. As we
all know, the problems of the future will be more complicated in terms
of complexity and data volume. Generally, evolutionary computation
requires a massive computational effort to yield efficient and
competitive solution to real-size engineering problems.
This special issue is focussed on all theoretical and practical aspects
related to the parallelisation of evolutionary computation.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- parallel genetic operators,
- parallel fitness evaluation,
- evolutionary multi-objective optimization in a parallel environment,
- multipopulation and coevolutionary approaches,
- synchronous and asynchronous parallel distributed evolutionary
algorithms,
- distributed/parallel genetic programming,
- distributed and cellular evolutionary algorithms,
- hybrid distributed/parallel algorithms (evolutionary algorithms
hybridized with other meta-heuristics),
- parallel evolutionary algorithms implementations,
- applications, including real world applications,
- and the others connected.
All papers will be peer reviewed by three independent referees.
The time schedule for this publication is as follows:
submission deadline: September 15th, 2006
authors notification: November 15th, 2006
camera-ready submission: December 15th, 2006
