Non-dominated Sorting in Genetic Algorithms-II (NSGA-II) is a popular non-domination based genetic algorithm for solving multi-objective optimization problems. This paper investigates the application of NSGA-II technique for the design of a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC)-based controller and a power system stabilizer. The design objective is to improve both rotor angle stability...

This paper presents a novel method on the optimization of bi-objective Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) under stochastic processing times. The robust counterpart model and the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) are used to solve the bi-objective FJSP with consideration of the completion time and the total energy consumption under stochastic processing times. The cas...

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been systematically developed to solve mono-objective, multi-objective and many-objective optimization problems, in this order, over the past few decades. Despite some efforts in unifying different types of mono-objective evolutionary and non-evolutionary algorithms, there does not exist many studies to unify all three types of optimization problems together. ...

The optimization of infrastructure planning in a multimodal network is defined as a multiobjective network design problem, with accessibility, use of urban space by parking, operating deficit and climate impact as objectives. Decision variables are the location of park and ride facilities, train stations and the frequency of public transport lines. For a case study the Pareto set is estimated b...

In this study, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) was used to minimize the cost and carbon emissions of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel ship for given route. This study considered regulations emission control areas (ECA) European Union (EU) Emissions Trading System (ETS) determine optimal speed LNG/oil ratio ship. NSGA-II arrival time at each port LNG usage voyage leg a...

Word alignment is a key task in statistical machine translation (SMT). This paper presents a novel model for this task. In this model, word alignment is considered as amultiobjective optimization problem and solved based on the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II), which is one of the best multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEA). There are two advantages of the proposed mo...

Tailored prosthesis design must to be done in as accurately as possible way to fit particular patient requirements. Aiming this intent, some techniques based on image processing have been being studied. In this context, the image quality is highly important and decisive in the accuracy, or even feasibility, of these methodologies. To do so, the image treatment is done through the gamma correcti...
