Many Objective Optimisation: Direct Objective Boundary Identification

This paper describes and demonstrates a new and highly innovative technique that identifies an approximation of the entire bounding surface of the feasible objective region directly, including deep concavities, disconnected regions and the edges of interior holes in the feasible areas. The Pareto front is a subset of the surface of the objective boundary and can be extracted easily. Importantly...

Objective-COP: Objective Context Oriented Programming

This paper introduces a context-oriented component-based application MDA (COCA-MDA) that modularizes the application’s context-dependent behaviour into context-oriented components. The components separate the application’s functional concerns from the extra-functional concerns. The application is organized into two casually connected layers: the base layer, which provides the application’s core...

Objective Metrics

This section and the results in the table address the question: What effects do GDSS have on group processes and outcomes? Our initial studies focused on differences between groups using the GDSS and groups employing more traditional modes of operation. Normatively we were interested in the question of whether there was any net improvement in decision outcomes such as quality, satisfaction, and...

Objective Probability

A distinction is sometimes made between"statistical"and"subjective"probabilities. This is based on a distinction between"unique"events and"repeatable"events. We argue that this distinction is untenable, since all events are"unique"and all events belong to"kinds", and offer a conception of probability for A1 in which (1) all probabilities are based on -- possibly vague -- statistical knowledge, ...
