Parallel Optimization of Evolutionary Algorithms

A parallel two-level evolutionary algorithm which evolves genetic algorithms of maximum convergence velocity is presented. The meta-algorithm combines principles of evolution strategies and genetic algorithms in order to optimize continuous and discrete parameters of the genetic algorithms at the same time (mixed-integer optimization).
