Abstract

To enhance the performance of evolutionary algorithms, different parallel computation models have been proposed, and they have been implemented on parallel computers to speed up the computation. Instead of using expensive parallel computing facilities, in this paper we propose to implement parallel evolutionary computation models on easily available networked PCs, and present a multi-agent framework to support parallelism. To evaluate the proposed approach, different kinds of experiments have been conducted to assess the developed system and the preliminary results show the efficiency of our approach.
