What we do in this paper
Implement EvoSpace and test on a number of
benchmark problems.

Conclusions
●
Pool/cloud based EvoSpace works!
– Evolution as a service!
●
Good scalability is achieved
●
Flexibility in implementations: server/cloud based
●
Parametrization is important
– Block size
– Number of workers
#evospace: Valdez et al. 11

Future work
●
Authentication
●
Throttling
●
Scalability
– And how to achieve it.
●
Dissimilar webworkers
●
Characterizing pool-based EAs
– And when to use them.
