Abstract
In this work we present two parallel PSO strategies based on multiple swarms to solve MaOPs (Many-Objective Optimization Problems). The first strategy is based on Pareto dominance and the other is based on decomposition. Multiple swarms execute on independent processors and communicate using broadcast on a fully connected network. We investigate the impact of using both synchronous and asynchronous communication strategies for the decomposition-based approach. Experimental results were obtained for several benchmark problems. It is possible to conclude that the parallelization has a positive effect on the convergence and diversity of the optimization process for problems with many objectives. However, there is no single strategy that is the best results for all classes of problems. In terms of scalability, for higher numbers of objectives the parallel algorithms based on decomposition are always either the best or present comparable results with the Pareto approach. There are exceptions, but only when the problem itself has discontinuities on the Pareto Front.
