In this paper, a multi-objective enhanced imperialist competitive algorithm (MOEICA) is presented. The main structures of the original ICA are employed while some novel approaches are also developed. Other than the non-dominated sorting and crowding distance methods which are used as the main tools for comparing and ranking solutions, an auxiliary comparison approach called fuzzy possession is ...

This paper focuses on multi-objective designing of multi-machine Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) using Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA). The TCSC parameters designing problem is converted to an optimization problem with the multi-objective function including the desired damping factor and the desired damping ratio of the power system modes, which is solved by a SPEA ...

During recent decades, evolutionary algorithms have been widely studied in optimization problems. The multi-objective whale algorithm based on multi-leader guiding is proposed this paper, which attempts to offer a proper framework apply and other swarm intelligence solving adopts several improvements enhance performance. First, search agents are classified into leadership set ordinary by grid m...

Context: In requirements engineering phase of the software development life cycle, one of the main concerns of software engineers is to select a set of software requirements for implementation in the next release of the software from many requirements proposed by the customers, while balancing budget and customer satisfaction. Objective: To analyse the efficacy of Quantum-inspired Elitist Multi...

Data clustering is one of the most important areas of research in data mining and knowledge discovery. Recent research in this area has shown that the best clustering results can be achieved using multi-objective methods. In other words, assuming more than one criterion as objective functions for clustering data can measurably increase the quality of clustering. In this study, a model with two ...

Network reconfiguration is a nonlinear optimization procedure which calculates a radial structure to optimize the power losses and improve the network reliability index while meeting practical constraints. In this paper, a multi-objective framework is proposed for optimal network reconfiguration with the objective functions of minimization of power losses and improvement of reliability index. T...
