Nowadays, multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are used widely in many fields of research and applications. Many studies have shown that MCDM approaches effective determining the optimal solution to a variety symmetrical asymmetrical problems with numerous parameters. This article investigates novel approach using multi criteria decision making optimize parameters static var compensato...

User preference integration is of great importance in multi-objective optimization, in particular in many objective optimization. Preferences have long been considered in traditional multicriteria decision making (MCDM) which is based on mathematical programming. Recently, it is integrated in multi-objective metaheuristics (MOMH), resulting in focus on preferred parts of the Pareto front instea...

in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

This report documents the program and outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 15031 Understanding Complexity in Multiobjective Optimization. This seminar carried on the series of four previous Dagstuhl Seminars (04461, 06501, 09041 and 12041) that were focused on Multiobjective Optimization, and strengthening the links between the Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) and Multiple Criteria De...

Classification algorithm selection is an important issue in many disciplines. Since it normally involves more than one criterion, the task of algorithm selection can be modeled as multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. Different MCDM methods evaluate classifiers from different aspects and thus they may produce divergent rankings of classifiers. The goal of this paper is to propose a...

The seminar "Hybrid and Robust Approaches to Multiobjective Optimization" was a sequel to two previous Dagstuhl seminars (04461 in 2004 and 06501 in 2006). The main idea of this seminar series has been to bring together two contemporary elds related to multiobjective optimization Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) and Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) to discuss critical rese...

In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient mathematical model for the resource-constrained project scheduling problem to optimize makespan and consumption of energy, simultaneously. In the proposed model, resources are speed-scaling machines. The problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, a multi-objective fruit fly optimization algorithm (MOFOA) is developed. The MOFOA uses the VIKO...

Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the methods that popularly has been used in solving personnel selection problem. Alternatives, criteria, and weights are some of the fundamental aspects in MCDM that need to be defined clearly in order to achieve a good result. Apart from these aspects, fuzzy data has to take into consideration that it may arise from unobtainable and incomplete inf...
