Abstract
Abstract — Our theoretical understanding of island models (IMs) is much worse than of single-population evolutionary algorithms (EAs). As a consequence there is relatively little guidance available to a practitioner for even the most basic aspects of IM design such as choosing the size and number of the islands. In this paper we improve on this situation by showing how a particular two-level perspective can in fact provide guidance for IM design. I.
