Parallel and Distributed Genetic Algorithm with Multiple-Objectives to Improve and Develop of Evolutionary Algorithm

In this paper, we argue that the timetabling problem reflects the problem of scheduling university courses, So you must specify the range of time periods and a group of instructors for a range of lectures to check a set of constraints and reduce the cost of other constraints ,this is the problem called NP-hard, it is a class of problems that are informally, it’s mean that necessary operations to solve the problem will increases exponentially and directly proportional to the size of the problem, The construction of timetable is most complicated problem that was facing many universities, and increased by size of the university data and overlapping disciplines between colleges, and when a traditional algorithm (EA) is unable to provide satisfactory results, a distributed EA (dEA), which deploys the population on distributed systems ,it also offers an opportunity to solve extremely high dimensional problems through distributed coevolution using a divide-and-conquer mechanism, Further, the distributed environment allows a dEA to maintain population diversity, thereby avoiding local optima and also facilitating multi-objective search, by employing different distributed models to parallelize the processing of EAs, we designed a genetic algorithm suitable for Universities environment and the constraints facing it when building timetable for lectures.
