This paper describes Parallel Grammatical Evolution (PGE) that can be together with clustering used for a improvement of the throughput of computer networks. To increase the efficiency of Grammatical Evolution (GE) the influence of backward processing was tested. The significance of backward coding (BC) and the comparison with standard coding of GEs is presented. BC can speed up Grammatical Evo...
