Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems (Genetic Algorithms and Evolutionary Computation) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The solving of multi-objective problems (MOPs) has been a continuing effort by humans in many diverse areas, including computer science, engineering, economics, finance, industry, physics, chemistry, and ecology, among others. Many powerful and deterministic and stochastic techniques for solving these large dimensional optimization problems have risen out of operations research, decision science, engineering, computer science and other related disciplines. The explosion in computing power continues to arouse extraordinary interest in stochastic search algorithms that require high computational speed and very large memories. A generic stochastic approach is that of evolutionary algorithms (EA). Such algorithms have been demonstrated to be very powerful and generally applicable for solving different single objective problems. Their fundamental algorithmic structures can also be applied to solving many multi-objective problems. In this book, the various features of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are presented in an innovative and unique fashion, with detailed customized forms suggested for a variety of applications. Also, extensive MOEA discussion questions and possible research directions are presented at the end of each chapter.

From the Back Cover
This textbook is the second edition of Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems, significantly augmented with contemporary knowledge and adapted for the classroom. All the various features of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are presented in an innovative and student-friendly fashion, incorporating state-of-the-art research results. The diversity of serial and parallel MOEA structures are given, evaluated and compared. The book provides detailed insight into the application of MOEA techniques to an array of practical problems. The assortment of test suites are discussed along with the variety of appropriate metrics and relevant statistical performance techniques.
Distinctive features of the new edition include:
- Designed for graduate courses on Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization, with exercises and links to a complete set of teaching material including tutorials
- Updated and expanded MOEA exercises, discussion questions and research ideas at the end of each chapter
- New chapter devoted to coevolutionary and memetic MOEAs with added material on solving constrained multi-objective problems
- Additional material on the most recent MOEA test functions and performance measures, as well as on the latest developments on the theoretical foundations of MOEAs
- An exhaustive index and bibliography
This self-contained reference is invaluable to students, researchers and in particular to computer scientists, operational research scientists and engineers working in evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms and artificial intelligence.
"...If you still do not know this book, then, I urge you to run-don't walk-to your nearest on-line or off-line book purveyor and click, signal or otherwise buy this important addition to our literature."
