In recent years, many evolutionary algorithms and population-based algorithms have been developed for solving multi-objective optimization problems. In this paper, the authors propose a new multi-objective brain storm optimization algorithm in which the clustering strategy is applied in the objective space instead of in the solution space in the original brain storm optimization algorithm for s...

Flower pollination algorithm is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. In this paper, we extend this flower algorithm to solve multi-objective optimization problems in engineering. By using the weighted sum method with random weights, we show that the proposed multi-objective flower algorithm can accurately find the Pareto fronts for a set of test fun...

This paper deals with a bi-objective hybrid no-wait flowshop scheduling problem minimizing the makespan and total weighted tardiness, in which we consider transportation times between stages. Obtaining an optimal solution for this type of complex, large-sized problem in reasonable computational time by using traditional approaches and optimization tools is extremely difficult. This paper presen...

In this paper, we show how cellular structures can be combined with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) for improving its search ability to find Pareto-optimal solutions of multi-objective optimization problems.
