  abstract=      "Genetic algorithms (GAs) are important search and
     optimisation techniques with a wide range of applications.
     The demand for GAs with fast response times has led to the
     investigation of parallel implementations. Three parallel
     GAs are designed, implemented on a transputer network, and
     compared over several benchmark problems. It is believed
     that a fine-grained approach to parallel genetic algorithms
     is the most promising."
