Analysis of a Parallel MOEA Solving the Multi-objective Quadratic Assignment Problem

چکیده
The Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP) is an NP-Complete problem [1]. The multiobjective Quadratic Assignment Problem (mQAP) is the multiobjective version of the QAP and was formalized in 2002 [2]. The QAP has had extensive research, but mQAP research is still in its infancy. The mQAP has been been used to optimize communication for formations of heterogenous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) through the use of the Multi-Objective Messy Genetic Algorithm II (MOMGA-II) [3]. This research extends that research by using a parallelized version of MOMGA-II and comparing the speedup and efficiency of the parallel results to the serial results. The mQAP is defined in mathematical terms in equations 1 and 2

Solving a New Multi-objective Unrelated Parallel Machines Scheduling Problem by Hybrid Teaching-learning Based Optimization
This paper considers a scheduling problem of a set of independent jobs on unrelated parallel machines (UPMs) that minimizesthe maximum completion time (i.e., makespan or ), maximum earliness ( ), and maximum tardiness ( ) simultaneously. Jobs have non-identical due dates, sequence-dependent setup times and machine-dependentprocessing times. A multi-objective mixed-integer linear programmi...

This paper presents a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) for the optimal operation of a complex multipurpose and multi-reservoir system. Firstly, MOEA/D decomposes a multi-objective optimization problem into a number of scalar optimization sub-problems and optimizes them simultaneously. It uses information of its several neighboring sub-problems for optimizin...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
