Abstract:

We describe a new parallel self-adaptive GA for solving the data clustering problem. The algorithm utilizes island parallelization model implemented
using genebank model, in which GA processes communicate with each other only through the genebank process. The genebank process maintains
a population of best solutions. This model allows one to easily implement
different migration topologies. Experiments show that significant speedup can be reached by parallelization. The effect of migration parameters is also studied and the development of diversity is examined by several measures, some of which are new.
