Subject: reference list on parallel GA/SA

[[ Editor's Note: While some may consider genetic algorithms to be a bit
afield, I feel this set of references will be quite useful to a large
number of researchers since hybrid systems offer great promise for "real"
engineered systems. Further, the simulated annealing portion is
certainly applicable to a number of neural network models -- in addition
to the more traditional field of circuit layout! -PM ]]
Here is the list of reference on parallel genetic algorithm and parallel
simulated annealing, compiled from the kind resposes from people on the
mailing list and other whatever ways I ran into. I thank all the help
again!
I have done a report on the impact of parallelism on genetic algorithm
and simulated annealing. Here are some of the major points:
Assuming constant size of neighborhood in a spatially distributed
population, the parallel genectic algorithm that selects mating partner
locally can usually achieve linear speedup over the sequential version.
But PGA has mainly shown advantage in improving the quality of search.
For parallel paradigm increases the chance of crossing-over of gens,
which is believed to be the most important mechanism of optimization.
Even with linear speedup, PGA application is still very slow comparing
with some conventional heuristics, for example, for the case of Traveling
Salesman Problem.
Parallel simulated annealing is not equivalent to parallelization of
Metropolis' relaxation, where the mainstream of practices concentrate on.
Metropolis' is basically a sequential approach. More significant speedup
is usally achieved by alternatives away from it. It is possible to
devise more parallel paradigm oriented simulation techniques, because the
working mechanism of simulated annealing is Boltzman distribution,
instead of the particular generating method --- Metropolis' relaxation.
The report is being revised. It will be available to interested parties
in January.
The reference consists of two parts. The first is on genectic algorithm,
the second on simulated annealing. Very godd bibliography on SA of D.
Greening is refered to the original source to save space.
By the way, I have profited a lot by asking question which seems simple
to some BIG profs B-]. I earnestly want to make up the noise I made to
them. I therefore suggest to the fellow pratictioner-to-be's let's try to
make the noise as little as possible. For example, we can have the
subject line as concise as possible, so non-interested people can delete
it before seeing it. As a example, when we ask such "simple" question, we
can put a X: in front of the subject line. X: may mean that it might
annoy some people but it might not to some others. eg. X: Relationship
between the cinema and the connectionist mailing list 8-)

There has been much work done in this area. Your best bet is to look at
the first, second, and third conferences on genetic algorithms.
McGill has the second conference. CISTI has all three. The third
conferences title is

>Subject: Anonymous FTP Site Available for Annealing Papers.
I have set up squid.cs.ucla.edu as an anonymous FTP site for distributing
papers on simulated annealing, spin-glass theory, etc. To get the widest
audience possible, I would encourage you to put your paper(s) there.
Please include a full reference on the first page which indicates where the
paper appeared, if it has been published already, such as
Appeared in Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, vol. 42, pp. 293-306, 1990.
If the paper has not yet been published, include some reference which would
allow a reader to locate the paper, such as
Submitted for publication to the Conference on Advanced Research in VLSI,
1990. Available as IBM Technical Report RC-23456.
You may also wish to include electronic mail information in your paper.
You may want to announce its availability to the mailing list, by sending a
message to anneal@cs.ucla.edu.
HOW TO PUT A PAPER ON SQUID:
REASONABLE PAPER FORMATS:
1. POSTSCRIPT. Almost everyone has access to a PostScript printer, so
unless you absolutely have no other choice, please supply your paper in
PostScript form. Append ".ps" to the filename to indicate postscript.
2. TROFF. You should only include troff if you have set up your troff
file so that it requires NO COMMAND OPTIONS. Preprocess the troff input
so all pic, tbl, eqn stuff is already included. Any macro packages
should be included in the file itself. In short, someone should be
able to produce your paper using only the file you provide.
Append ".troff" to the filename to indicate troff.
3. DVI. You should only include a dvi file if it DOES NOT INCLUDE
ENCAPSULATED POSTSCRIPT files (presumably if you have such files, you
can generate the whole paper in postscript). Append ".dvi" to the
filename to indicate a dvi file.
Let's say that you formatted your paper, and have created a postscript file
called paper.ps. Furthermore, suppose the first author is "Josie Smith" and
you have submitted this paper to IEEE Transactions on CAD. By
convention, the paper should be stored on squid as "smith.ieeetcad.ps".
You can embellish the name as you wish, however, there is a maximum of
255 characters in a filename.
Here goes (from UNIX):
% ftp 131.179.96.44 (or ftp squid.cs.ucla.edu)
login: anonymous
password: anything
ftp> cd anneal
ftp> binary
ftp> put paper.ps smith.ieeetcad.ps
ftp> quit
Now your paper will be sitting around for anyone to read! You might get
famous!
HOW TO GET A PAPER FROM SQUID:
OK, suppose someone announces the availability of a paper on squid, called
"smith.stoc1989.ps". Let's get a copy.
Here goes (from UNIX):
% ftp 131.179.96.44 (or ftp squid.cs.ucla.edu)
login: anonymous
password: anything
ftp> cd anneal
ftp> ls -l (might as well look around while we're here...)
ftp> binary
ftp> get smith.stoc1989.ps
ftp> quit
Now, just print out smith.stoc1989.ps and you discover something new!
Hooray!
I put a couple of my papers on there, already, as well as a paper by
Dannie Durand. If you guys are nice (i.e., if you make me feel fulfilled by
putting your papers there), maybe I'll put my much-discussed simulated
annealing bibliography there, too.
% I happen to have a copy of the bibliogaraphy, I think it is the most complete
% one. There might be some overlaps between here and there. Yu Shen

is you're doing).

Sharpening
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 90 11:06:38 -0500 (EST)
From: Javier Movellan <jm2z+@andrew.cmu.edu>
Subject: Re: Parallel Implementation of Genectic Algorithm and Simulated
Yu,
There is a third related procedure called "sharpening". My first contact
with the sharpening procedure was through the work of Akiyama et al (see
reference) in what they called Gaussian machines ( Continuous Hopfield
Networks with Gaussian noise injected in the net inputs).
Sharpening is also used in Mean Field Networks (Continuous Hopfield
Model with the Contrastive Hebbian Learning Algorithm). Sharpening may
be seen as a deterministic, continuous approximation to annealing in
Stochastic Boltzmann Machines. It works by starting settling using
logistic activations with very low gain and increasing it as settling
progresses. Sharpening, contrary to "true annealing" is deterministic
and thus it may be faster. A similar procedure is used with elastic
networks solving the TSP problem.
