Abstract

This paper examines the influence of mating restrictions in two parallel genetic algorithms; the island-model, and an alternative which adaptively partitions the search space into separately optimised regions. Mating restrictions are found critical in both cases, but particularly the island-model whose performance is only comparable when mating is significantly restricted.
