In the last years, we have experienced a change in computing towards parallelism. The physical limits of integrated circuits being reached, computing performance now keep Moore’s law thanks to the replication of components. The default computer is nowadays
a parallel machine. In this scenario, parallelism is a must in any modern software in order to make an effective use of the available resources.<br class="">
The purpose of this special issue is to collect the main recent trends and designs in parallel and distributed computing for solving hard optimization problems. <br class="">
