The cloud is where you run your applications, but it’s also how you will design your algorithms from now on. Evolutionary algorithms are specially suited for this, and that is why I have given tutorials on how to adapt evolutionary algorithms to the cloud in PPSN and lately, when one of the keynotes dropped, an updated and abridged version at ECTA 16.
In these tutorials I make an introduction to what is the cloud and what it means: basically, create applications as loosely connected, polyglot, multi-vendor sets of different programs. Which will spawn a slew of new algorithms, starting with the pool-based evolutionary algorithm we have working on for so long.
Reblogged this on EphemeCH and commented:
The cloud allows us to merge many different types of resources, including volunteers, just the way we did in this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.01607 Below we link the keynote and tutorial on evolutionary algorithms in the cloud.
