Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are a powerful technique to address hard optimisation problems. However, scalability issues might prevent them from being applied to real-world problems. Exploiting parallel GAs in the cloud might be an affordable…

Estimating statistical models within sensor networks requires distributed algorithms, in which both data and computation are distributed across the nodes of the network. We propose a general approach for distributed learning based on…

We propose a cooperative coevolutionary genetic algorithm for learning Bayesian network structures from fully observable data sets. Since this problem can be decomposed into two dependent subproblems, that is to find an ordering of the…

This thesis investigates the use of problem-specific knowledge to enhance a genetic algorithm approach to multiple-choice optimisation problems.It shows that such information can significantly enhance performance, but that the choice of…

This paper addresses the path selection problem from a known source to the destination in dense networks. The proposed solution for route discovery uses the genetic algorithm approach for a QoS based network. The multi point crossover and…

This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problems in the past, they always had to overcome the…

Distributed coevolutionary Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) training has empirically shown success in overcoming GAN training pathologies. This is mainly due to diversity maintenance in the populations of generators and discriminators…

In a distributed system, Task Assignment Problem (TAP) is a key factor for obtaining efficiency. TAP illustrates the appropriate allocation of tasks to the processor of each computer. In this problem, the proposed methods up to now try to…

In this paper we consider a novel partitioned framework for distributed optimization in peer-to-peer networks. In several important applications the agents of a network have to solve an optimization problem with two key features: (i) the…

The concept of extended cloud requires efficient network infrastructure to support ecosystems reaching form the edge to the cloud(s). Standard approaches to network load balancing deliver static solutions that are insufficient for the…

This paper studies the distributed optimization problem with possibly nonidentical local constraints, where its global objective function is composed of $N$ convex functions. The aim is to solve the considered optimization problem in a…

This paper proposes a two-time scale neurodynamic duplex approach to solve distributionally robust geometric joint chance-constrained optimization problems. The probability distributions of the row vectors are not known in advance and…

In this paper, we develop a distributed algorithm for solving a class of distributed convex optimization problems where the local objective functions can be a general nonsmooth function, and all equalities and inequalities are network-wide…

This paper considers the problem of designing a dynamical system to solve constrained optimization problems in a distributed way and in an anytime fashion (i.e., such that the feasible set is forward invariant). For problems with separable…

Plant breeding and variety trials are usually conducted in multiple environments sampled from a defined target population of environments in order to characterize the performance of breeding lines or varieties. When the population is large…

We consider the problem of allocating a fixed amount of resource among nodes in a network when each node suffers a cost which is a convex function of the amount of resource allocated to it. We propose a new deterministic and distributed…

This paper deals with the distributed processing in the search for an optimum classification model using evolutionary product unit neural networks. For this distributed search we used a cluster of computers. Our objective is to obtain a…

Computing high quality node separators in large graphs is necessary for a variety of applications, ranging from divide-and-conquer algorithms to VLSI design. In this work, we present a novel distributed evolutionary algorithm tackling the…

One of the key difficulties in using estimation-of-distribution algorithms is choosing the population size(s) appropriately: Too small values lead to genetic drift, which can cause enormous difficulties. In the regime with no genetic drift,…

We derive a quadratic-time algorithm for the genus distribution of any 3-regular, biconnected series-parallel graph, which we extend to any biconnected series-parallel graph of maximum degree at most 3. Since the biconnected components of…
