Abstract

This paper introduces SofEA, a pool-based architecture built over CouchDB for distributing evolutionary algorithms (EAs) across computer network in an asynchronous and decentralized way. Clients perform different functions (evaluation, reproduction, selection) which leads to a complex behavior that will be examined in this paper, looking for the values that yield the best performance.
