A unified view of parallel multi-objective evolutionary algorithms

International audienceThis paper describes a unified view of parallel evolutionary algorithms for multi-objective optimization problems. The parallel optimization algorithms are detailed from both design and implementation aspects. The proposed taxonomy is based on three hierarchical parallel models. Moreover, various parallel architectures are taken into account. The performance assessment issue of parallel multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA) is also presented. This work can be extended to any population-based metaheuristics such as particle swarm and scatter search
