Metaheuristic techniques have successfully contributed to the development and optimization of large-scale distributed power systems. The archived literature demonstrate that the modification or tuning of the parameters of specific metaheuristics can provide powerful tools suited for optimization of power plants with different types of constraints. In spite of the high potential of metaheuristic...

In this paper the use of a powerful single-objective optimization methodology in Multi-objective Optimization Algorithms (MOEAs) is introduced. The Flexible Evolution concepts (FE) have been recently developed and proved its efficiency gains compared with several Evolutionary Algorithms solving single-objective challenging problems. The main feature of such concepts is the flexibility to self-a...

Multiagent systems have had a powerful impact on the real world. Many of the systems it studies (air traffic, satellite coordination, rover exploration) are inherently multi-objective, but they are often treated as single-objective problems within the research. A key concept within multiagent systems is that of credit assignment: quantifying an individual agent’s impact on the overall system pe...

In this paper a comparison of the most recent algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization is realized. For this comparison are used the followings algorithms: Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA), Pareto Archived Evolution Strategy (PAES), Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA II), Adaptive Pareto Algorithm (APA). The comparison is made by using five test functions.

Abstract Optimally designed water distribution networks (WDNs) make engineers’ tasks difficult due to various challenges like non-linearity between head-loss and flow, commercially available distinct diameters, combinatorial, nondeterministic polynomial-time hard problems a large number of decision variables. This paper develops new hybrid NSGA-II algorithm augmented with random multi-point cro...

The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) is the most intensively used multi-objective evolutionary (MOEA) in real-world applications. However, contrast to several simple MOEAs analyzed also via mathematical means, no such study exists for NSGA-II so far. In this work, we show that runtime analyses are feasible NSGA-II. As particular results, prove with a population size larger t...

In Wireless Sensor Network (WSN), coverage and connectivity are the vital challenges in target-based region. The linear objective is to find positions cover complete target nodes between each sensor for data forwarding towards base station given a grid with points potential placement position. this paper, multiobjective problem on WSN (t-WSN) derived, which minimizes number of deployed n...

Abstract In this paper, multi-objective optimization (MOO) of Al2O3-water nanofluid flow in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) with triangular ribs is performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques and Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithms (NSGA II). At first, nanofluid flow is solved numerically in various MCHS with triangular ribs using CFD techniques. Finally, the CFD data will...
