From the reviews: "The book is clearly addressed at the practitioner in the field and at people interested in applying parallel evolutionary algorithms to some specific real world problem. ... For practitioners, the book offers four very concrete and precise case studies, an introduction to a library that facilitates implementation and a thorough and practical guide towards presenting their own results in scientific publications. The book extends well beyond a summary of the state of the art and contains a large amount of original research results." (Thomas Jansen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1232, 2012)

• Part I Introduction.- Part II Characterization of Parallel Genetic Algorithms.- Part III Applications of Parallel Genetic Algorithms.
