This paper deals with the mathematical modeling and performance optimization for the Digesting system of a Paper Plant using Genetic Algorithm. The Digesting system of a Paper Plant has four main subsystems, arranged in series and parallel. Considering exponential distribution for the probable failures and repairs, the mathematical formulation of the problem is done using probabilistic approach...

Dynamic Demes is a new method for the parallelisation of evolutionary algorithms. It was derived as a combination of two other parallelisation algorithms: the master-slave distributed fitness evaluation model and the static subpopulation model. In this paper we present the algorithm, perform a theoretical analysis of its performance and present experimental results where we compared Dynamic Dem...

One problem of propagating the globally fittest individual via neighbourhood evolving in both island model and cellular model of existing parallel genetic algorithms (PGA) is that the migration of globally best individual is delayed to non-adjacent processors. That may cause inferior search in those sub-populations. The propagation delay of the globally best individual is proportional to the ne...
