A Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Generalized Vertex Cover Problem
  This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for generalised vertex cover problem (GVCP) using Hadoop Map-Reduce framework. The proposed Map-Reduce implementation helps to run the genetic algorithm for generalized vertex cover problem (GVCP) on multiple machines parallely and computes the solution in relatively short time.
