Flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is an NP-hard puzzle which inherits the job-shop scheduling problem (JSP) characteristics. This paper presents a bee evolutionary guiding nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (BEG-NSGA-II) for multiobjective FJSP (MO-FJSP) with the objectives to minimize the maximal completion time, the workload of the most loaded machine, and the total workload ...

This paper proposes a method for optimising the hull form of ocean-going trawlers to decrease resistance and consequently reduce energy consumption. The entire optimisation process was managed by integration computer-aided design computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in CAESES software. Resistance simulated using CFD solver STAR-CCM+. trawler investigated under two main navigation conditions: traw...

We present a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm to exploit a medium-sized fuzzy outranking relation to derive a partial order of classes of alternatives (we call it RP-NSGA-II). To measure the performance of RP-NSGA-II, we present an empirical study over a set of simulated multi-criteria ranking problems. The result of this study shows that RP-NSGA-II can effectively exploit a medium-sized ...

Task scheduling plays an important part in the improvement of parallel and distributed systems. The problem of task scheduling has been shown to be NP hard. The time consuming is more to solve the problem in deterministic techniques. There are algorithms developed to schedule tasks for distributed environment, which focus on single objective. The problem becomes more complex, while considering ...

In Multi-objective Optimization the goal is to present a set of Pareto-optimal solutions to the decision maker (DM). One out of these solutions is then chosen according to the DM preferences. Given that the DM has some general idea of what type of solution is preferred, a more efficient optimization could be run. This can be accomplished by letting the optimization algorithm make use of this pr...

This paper proposes an effective multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (MDES) to solve a permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSSP) with modified Dejong's learning effect. The proposed algorithm combines the basic differential evolution (DE) with local search and borrows the selection operator from NSGA-II to improve the general performance.  First the problem is encoded with a...

Nowadays, the capability of cloud management suppliers is one of the important advantages for suppliers that can improve the performance and flexibility and reduce costs in companies through easy access to resources. Also, the environmental impacts of suppliers are a significant issue in today’s industrialization and globalization world. This paper analyzes these subjects by fuzzy multi-objecti...

<span>The concept of the optimization energy management system, developed in this work, is to determine optimal combination from several generation sources and schedule their commitment, while optimizing cost energy, power losses voltage drops. In order achieve these objectives, non-dominated sorting genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) was modified applied an IEEE 33-bus test network containin...

In this paper, we apply an elitist multi-objective genetic algorithm for solving mechanical component design problems with multiple objectives. Although there exists a number of classical techniques, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have an edge over the classical methods in that they can find multiple Pareto-optimal solutions in one single simulation run. The proposed algorithm (we call NSGA-II) ...
