A sequel to Mobile Processing in distributed and Open Environments, this title introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed processing and control in dynamic and open worlds of any natures. The new control theory and technology introduced in the book can be widely used for the design and implementation of many distributed control systems, such as intelligent network management for the Internet, mobile cooperative robots, Rapid Reaction forces, future Combat Systems, robotics and AI, NMD, space research on other planets, and other applications. This title: * Demonstrates a much simpler and more efficient application programming * Cultivates a new kind of thinking about how large dynamic systems should be designed, organized, tasked, simulated, and controlled * Introduces an extended, universal WAVE-WP model for distributed processing * Compares the universal WAVE-WP model to other existing systems used in intelligent networking

Solving complex optimization problems with parallel metaheuristics parallel Metaheuristics brings together an international group of experts in parallelism and metaheuristics to provide a much-needed synthesis of these two fields. Readers discover how metaheuristic techniques can provide useful and practical solutions for a wide range of problems and application domains, with an emphasis on the fields of telecommunications and bioinformatics. This volume fills a long-existing gap, allowing researchers and practitioners to develop efficient metaheuristic algorithms to find solutions. The book is divided into three parts: * Part One: Introduction to Metaheuristics and parallelism, including an Introduction to Metaheuristic Techniques, Measuring the Performance of parallel Metaheuristics, New Technologies in parallelism, and a head-to-head discussion on Metaheuristics and parallelism * Part Two: parallel Metaheuristic Models, including parallel Genetic Algorithms, parallel Genetic Programming, parallel Evolution Strategies, parallel Ant Colony Algorithms, parallel Estimation of Distribution Algorithms, parallel Scatter Search, parallel Variable Neighborhood Search, parallel Simulated Annealing, parallel Tabu Search, parallel GRASP, parallel Hybrid Metaheuristics, parallel Multi-Objective Optimization, and parallel Heterogeneous Metaheuristics * Part Three: Theory and Applications, including Theory of parallel Genetic Algorithms, parallel Metaheuristics Applications, parallel Metaheuristics in Telecommunications, and a final chapter on Bioinformatics and parallel Metaheuristics Each self-contained chapter begins with clear overviews and introductions that bring the reader up to speed, describes basic techniques, and ends with a reference list for further study. Packed with numerous tables and figures to illustrate the complex theory and processes, this comprehensive volume also includes numerous practical real-world optimization problems and their solutions.
