Multi‐objective evolutionary approach to select security solutions

Multiobjective Evolutionary Clustering Approach to Security Vulnerability Assesments

Network vulnerability assessments collect large amounts of data to be further analyzed by security experts. Data mining and, particularly, unsupervised learning can help experts analyze these data and extract several conclusions. This paper presents a contribution to mine data in this security domain. We have implemented an evolutionary multiobjective approach to cluster data of security assess...

An Evolutionary Approach to Active Robust Multiobjective Optimisation

An Active Robust Optimisation Problem (AROP) aims at finding robust adaptable solutions, i.e. solutions that actively gain robustness to environmental changes through adaptation. Existing AROP studies have considered only a single performance objective. This study extends the Active Robust Optimisation methodology to deal with problems with more than one objective. Once multiple objectives are ...

A New Evolutionary Approach for Multiobjective Optimization

Evolutionary Multiobjective Approach for Multilevel Component Composition

Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) uses components to construct systems, being a means to increase productivity by promoting software reuse and increasing software quality. The process of assembling component is called component composition. Components are themselves compositions of components. This give rise to the idea of composition levels, where a component on level i may be decomp...

A Portfolio Optimization Approach to Selection in Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms

In this work, a new approach to selection in multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) is proposed. It is based on the portfolio selection problem, which is well known in financial management. The idea of optimizing a portfolio of investments according to both expected return and risk is transferred to evolutionary selection, and fitness assignment is reinterpreted as the allocation of cap...
