Parallel Approaches for Multiobjective Optimization

This chapter presents a general overview of parallel approaches for multiobjective optimization. For this purpose, we propose a taxonomy for parallel metaheuristics and exact methods. This chapter covers the design aspect of the algorithms as well as the implementation aspects on different parallel and distributed architectures.
