Multipurpose Water Reservoir Management: An Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization Approach

An Evolutionary Algorithm for Multiobjective Optimization The Strength Pareto Approach

Evolutionary algorithms EA have proved to be well suited for optimization prob lems with multiple objectives Due to their inherent parallelism they are able to capture a number of solutions concurrently in a single run In this report we propose a new evolutionary approach to multicriteria optimization the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm SPEA It combines various features of previous multi...

A New Evolutionary Approach for Multiobjective Optimization

An improved robust topology optimization approach using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms

Robust topology optimization has gained importance during the last years. This paper presents a robust approach to topology optimization using multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. A key contribution of our approach is that our optimization model handles structural robustness through the first two objectives, namely, the expected compliance and its variance; whereas a third objective incorpor...

Multipurpose Reservoir Operation Using Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents an efficient and reliable swarm intelligence-based approach, namely elitist-mutated particle swarm optimization EMPSO technique, to derive reservoir operation policies for multipurpose reservoir systems. Particle swarm optimizers are inherently distributed algorithms, in which the solution for a problem emerges from the interactions between many simple individuals called par...

Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization

Very often real world applications have several multiple conflicting objectives. Recently there has been a growing interest in evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithms which combines two major disciplines: evolutionary computation and the theoretical frameworks of multicriteria decision making. In this introductory chapter, we define some fundemental concepts of multiobjective optimi...
