A Monte Carlo simulation based chaotic differential evolution algorithm for scheduling a stochastic parallel processor system

作者:

Highlights:

• A simulation-based evolutionary optimization is proposed for a parallel processor system.

• A lower level Monte Carlo and an upper level differential evolution are suggested.

• Simulation is used to assess quality of candidate solutions and optimizer is utilized to guide the search at upper level.

• Chaos theory is employed to enhance quality of results via preventing premature convergence and locality.
