The seminar "Hybrid and Robust Approaches to Multiobjective Optimization" was a sequel to two previous Dagstuhl seminars (04461 in 2004 and 06501 in 2006). The main idea of this seminar series has been to bring together two contemporary elds related to multiobjective optimization Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to discuss critical rese...

Cost and product quality are significant attributes in manufacturing processes, such as multistation assembly. We use multiobjective optimization for integrated tolerance allocation and fixture layout design to address their interaction and to quantify tradeoffs among cost, product quality, and assembly process robustness. Design decisions relate to product tolerances, assembly process toleranc...

Abstract Aiming at the problem of facility layout in intelligent workshops, a collaborative optimization method and AGV path planning based on discrete event simulation (DES) is proposed. This can increase production capacity workshop by solving open-field (OFLP). First, to simplify complex constraints OFLP, mathematical programming model established. Second, hybrid algorithm proposed solve opt...

In this paper we introduce an application of multiobjective optimization with genetic algorithms to the problem of graph drawing and explore the potential contribution of the genetic algorithm to solve this particular problem. Given a weighted graph, we want to find a geometric position of every vertex (layout) consistent with the weights in the graph. Among the possible solutions to this probl...

Many construction activities generate fine particles and severely threaten the physical health of workers. Although many dust control measures are implemented in industry, occupational risks still exist. In order to improve level, this study proposes a new method reducing pollution through reasonable site layout plan. This is based on field measurement diffusion law. The law can be fitted monit...
