Abstract: Abstract The chapter presents a general picture of parallel meta-heuristic search for optimization. It recalls the main concepts and strategies in designing parallel meta-heuristics, pointing to a number of contributions that instantiated them for neighborhood- and population-based meta-heuristics, and identifies trends and promising research directions. The focus is on cooperation-based strategies, which display remarkable performances, in particular strategies based on asynchronous exchanges and the creation of new information out of exchanged data to enhance the global guidance of the search.
