چکیده
This paper extends the multicriteria decision paradigm to the heuristic search domain in a systematic way. A useful formal definition of multicriteria heuristic graph search problems is provided. Then the fundamental issues in multicriteria search are described in detail and a general framework is developed. Several new procedures are presented and analyzed for the usual multicriteria decision rules: multiobjective, multiattribute, goal satisfaction, and lexicographic

DISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
متن کاملA Discrete Hybrid Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization algorithm for optimization of space trusses
In this study, to enhance the optimization process, especially in the structural engineering field two well-known algorithms are merged together in order to achieve an improved hybrid algorithm. These two algorithms are Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Harmony Search (HS) which have been used by most researchers in varied fields of science. The hybridized algorithm is called A Di...
متن کاملCONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION OF TRUSSES USING A MULTI HEURISTIC BASED SEARCH METHOD
Different methods are available for simultaneous optimization of cross-section, topology and geometry of truss structures. Since the search space for this problem is very large, the probability of falling in local optimum is considerably high. On the other hand, different types of design variables (continuous and discrete) lead to some difficulties in the process of optimization. In this articl...
متن کاملPSEUDO-RANDOM DIRECTIONAL SEARCH: A NEW HEURISTIC FOR OPTIMIZATION
Meta-heuristics have already received considerable attention in various fields of engineering optimization problems. Each of them employes some key features best suited for a specific class of problems due to its type of search space and constraints. The present work develops a Pseudo-random Directional Search, PDS, for adaptive combination of such heuristic operators. It utilizes a short term...
متن کاملMulticriteria optimisation and simulation: an industrial application
This paper deals with multicriteria discrete-continuous problems of scheduling nonpreemptable jobs. The need for reusability and modularity leads us to build a “generic” optimisation and simulation framework, while the need to quickly generate good compromises between conflicting objectives requires the implementation of multicriteria scheduling models. This paper describes the practical possib...
