Parallel Evolutionary Optimization

What are the good papers (state of the art, classic) in parallel Evolutionary Optimization.

Something along the lines of sub-population or islands.

I am most interested in techniques for migration between populations.

Olivier,

Could you say a bit more about what you mean by parallel EP? It sounds like you are talking about approaches that avoid monocultures in order to explore difficult landscapes better., but the term sounds like implementation of EP's on parallel machines (which is typically near trivial).
