The field of parallel metaheuristics is continuously evolving as a result of new technologies
and needs that researchers have been encountering. In the last decade, new models of …

Computational devices with significant computing power are pervasive yet often under-
exploited since they are frequently idle or performing non-demanding tasks. Exploiting this …

As a Distributed Hash Table (DHT), Skip Graph routing overlays are exploited in several
peer-to-peer (P2P) services, including P2P cloud storage. The fully decentralized replication …

Despite the intuition that the same population size is not needed throughout the run of an
Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), most EAs use a fixed population size. This paper presents an …

This paper studies the scalability of an Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) whose population is
structured by means of a gossi** protocol and where the evolutionary operators act …

The rapid development of parallel and distributed computing paradigms has brought about
great revolution in computing. Thanks to the intrinsic parallelism of evolutionary computation …

Ephemeral computing is a term that describes computing systems whose nodes or their
connectivity have an ephemeral, heterogeneous and possibly also unpredictable nature …

The traditional decentralized availability-based replication algorithms suffer from high
dependence on the underlying system's churn behavior, randomness in replica selection …

This paper tackles the design of scalable and fault-tolerant evolutionary algorithms
computed on volunteer platforms. These platforms aggregate computational resources from …

As a distributed hash table (DHT) routing overlay, Skip Graph is used in a variety of peer-to-
peer (P2P) systems including cloud storage. The overlay connectivity of P2P systems is …
