This works extends a space partition search framework to divide the objective space into overlapping subspaces and propose a new conflict-based strategy to select the most conflicting subspaces for search. We test the effectiveness of the proposed strategy to improve the performance search of a multi-objective optimization algorithm on manyobjective problems with non-redundant objectives.

This paper formulates a prioritized data gathering problem in noisy wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and solves the problem with a noise-aware evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithm (EMOA). Unlike existing local search heuristics, the proposed algorithm can seek the Pareto-optimal routing structures with respect to conflicting optimization objectives. Simulation results demonstrate t...

Many decisions involve conflicting objectives that cannot be optimized simultaneously. For example, in choosing an apartment, none of the available options typically has the best commute, is in the nicest neighborhood, and rents for the lowest price; in making a decision of this sort, we examine tradeoffs. How these tradeoffs are made depends on the decision process and preferences of the decis...

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) optimizes multi-objectives, conflicting with each other, simultaneously. In this paper, EMO has been utilized to improve a window based protocol based on two parameters, Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) and end-to-end delay. The problem has been simulated using gamultiobj tool in the MATLAB.

Bone Joint Res 2015;4:99–104. Received 28 March 2014; Accepted after revision 01 April 2015 Objectives There remains conflicting evidence regarding cortical bone strength following bisphosphonate therapy. As part of a study to assess the effects of bisphosphonate treatment on the healing of rat tibial fractures, the mechanical properties and radiological density of the uninjured contralateral t...

Scheduling of semiconductor wafer fabrication system is identified as a complex problem, involving multiple and conflicting objectives (meeting due dates and minimizing waiting time for instance) to satisfy. In this study, we propose an effective approach based an artificial neural network technique embedded in a multiobjective optimization loop for multi-decision scheduling problems in a semic...

A novel evolutionary approach is proposed for effective intrusion detection based on benchmark datasets. The proposed approach can generate a pool of noninferior individual solutions and ensemble solutions thereof. The generated ensembles can be used to detect the intrusions accurately. For intrusion detection problem, the proposed approach could consider conflicting objectives simultaneously l...

The objectives of the paper is to review the conflicting requirements and needs of existing telecommunication network testing approaches, services and equipment, in order to provide a simple but powerful solution that allows automated and standardized testing activities. We present in the paper a progressive transition from the current proprietary practices, to a distributed and fully TMN compl...

This paper presents a systematic decision-making approach for roofing maintenance management that combines a stochastic Markovian performance prediction model with a multi-objective optimization method to determine the optimal allocation of funds and prioritization of roofs for maintenance, repair and replacement. A product model of the roof system is used to provide the data framework for coll...
