Special Session on "Parallel Implementation of Metaheuristics"
Call for Papers
===============
As academic and industrial optimization problems keep increasing in size and complexity, it is a constant goal to improve the effectiveness of metaheuristics to find better solutions in the shortest possible computational time. One way to achieve this goal is the use of parallel computing. However, research on parallel metaheuristics has shown that obtaining an efficient parallel implementation of a resolution method is rarely a simple or obvious task. While it is a desirable goal to design parallel metaheuristics that are independent of a particular model of computing, it is often necessary to take it into account to reach the highest levels of performance. With the evolution of parallel architectures, algorithmic models and programming languages, many opportunities emerge for the implementation of metaheuristics.
This special session is aimed at presenting and discussing the latest advances and trends in the design and implementation of parallel metaheuristics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to :
- Parallelization strategies/frameworks for existing metaheuristics
- Implementation on state-of-the-art parallel architectures (Symmetric Multiprocessors, Multi-Core processors, Clusters, GPU's, ...)
- Software development using parallel programming languages (MPI, OpenMP, ...)
- Parallel resolution of large/complex problems
