a new mathematical model of the master-slave
architecture for distributed evolutionary computations
(EC). This model is validated using a concrete
implementation based on the Distributed BEAGLE C++
framework. Results show that contrary to (current)
popular belief, master-slave architectures are able to
scale well over local area networks of workstations
using off-the-shelf networking equipment. The main
properties of the master-slave are also compared with
those of the more mainstream island-model.
