Application of interactive multiobjective satisfaction to control system design.

Automating Control System Design via a Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm

(2005) Automating control system design via a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm. This chapter presents a performance-prioritized computer aided control system design (CACSD) methodology using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The evolutionary CACSD approach unifies different control laws in both the time and frequency domains based upon performance satisfactions, without the need of...

Multiobjective design of sewer networks

The sewer layout in flat areas significantly influences the construction and operational costs as well as reliability of the network performance. To find an optimum design of sewer networks for flat areas, this study presents a multi-objective optimization problem with the objective functions of 1- the cost and 2- the reliability. The reliability criterion is defined as the effect of a clogging...

Multiobjective Genetic Algorithms with Application to Control Engineering Problems

Genetic Programming in Application to Flight Control System Design Optimisation

1.1 Evolutionary algorithms EAs are often considered as an example of artificial intelligence and a soft computing approach. Their unique ability to search for complete and global solutions to a given problem makes EAs a powerful problem solving tool which combine such important characteristics as robustness, versatility and simplicity. Historically, there exist several branches of EAs, namely ...

Multiobjective Differential Evolution with Application to Reservoir System Optimization

Many water resources systems are characterized by multiple objectives. For multiobjective optimization, typically there can be no single optimal solution which can simultaneously satisfy all the goals, but rather a set of technologically efficient noninferior or Pareto optimal solutions exists. Generating those Pareto optimal solutions is a challenging task and often difficulties arise in using...
