Problem Definitions and Evaluation Criteria for CEC 2011 Competition on Testing Evolutionary Algorithms on Real World Optimization Problems

2 We thankfully acknowledge the contribution of the following friends, colleagues and students in making the problem set complete: A comprehensive account of some real world optimization problems have been presented in details. These problems can be used to evaluate the performance of different stochastic optimization algorithm. After all, every optimization algorithm has to be applied to some real world problems. In light of this fact, some real world optimizations problems have been selected and detailed analysis of those problems have given to understand it and the objective functions have been evaluated respected to the constraints (if any) to optimize and get its solution.
