Track Description:

During these last twenty years modern research has expanded to address more and more complex problems, with regards to their dimensionality, restrictions, computing power required, etc. In particular, those coming from real-world scenarios are getting both larger in size and harder in complexity. With high demands of accuracy (and robustness) in the solutions and needing the shortest possible computational time, these problems face researchers to new challenges which are hard to solve with traditional techniques and computers. One way to efficiently produce results derived from processing huge amounts of data is the use of parallel algorithms, hardware, and specialized techniques. The technical evolution of parallel architectures (symmetric multiprocessors, multi/many-cores, GPUs, clouds, etc.), is offering more and more opportunities for designing efficient algorithms in many research fields.

This track in INCoS aims at fostering the cross-fertilization of knowledge between Nature's inspired techniques, or metaheuristics in general, and parallel computing. Working in two domains of research is at the same time difficult and fruitful. Knowledge about  parallel computing helps in creating parallel algorithms for clusters, grids of computers or GPU architectures. However, this also implies the need for a careful definition of proper benchmarks, software tools, and metrics to measure the behavior of algorithms in a meaningful way. In concrete, a conceptual separation between physical parallelism and decentralized algorithms (whether implemented in parallel or not) is needed to better analyze the resulting algorithms.

Scope:

This track includes (but is not limited to) topics concerning the design, implementation, and application of parallel evolutionary algorithms, as well as metaheuristics and agents in general: ACO, PSO, VNS, SS, SA, EDAs, TS, ES, GP, GRASP… As an indication, contributions are welcomed in the following areas:
