Parallel Strategies for Meta-Heuristics
Teodor Gabriel Crainic, Michel Toulouse · Kluwer Academic Publishers eBooks · 2006
We present a state-of-the-art survey of parallel meta-heuristic developments and results, discuss general design and implementation principles that apply to most meta-heuristic classes, instantiate these principles for the three meta-heuristic classes currently most extensively used—genetic methods, simulated annealing, and tabu search, and identify a number of trends and promising research directions.
