<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This paper proposes a multi-objective lion swarm optimization based on multi-agent (MOMALSO) for solving the increasingly complex problem in engineering practice. First, Multi-agent system is introduced into (LSO) algorithm. The mechanism of LSO and information exchange between agents are integrated to enhance local search global ability algorithm, self-learni...

Single-objective to multi-objective/many-objective optimization (SMO) is a new paradigm in the evolutionary transfer (ETO), since there are only “1 + 4” pioneering works on SMOs so far, that is, “1” continuous and firstly performed by Professors L. Feng H.D. Wang, “4” proposed our group for discrete cases. As computational paradigm, theoretical insights into relatively rare now. Therefore, we p...

Since there has been tremendous progress in planning in the process industry during the last 25 years, it might be worthwhile to give an overview of the current state-of-the-art of planning problems in the process industry. This is the purpose of the current contribution which has the following structure: we start with some conceptional thoughts and some comments on special features of planning...
