Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms and Applications

Evolutionary multiobjective optimization is currently gaining a lot of attention, particularly for researchers in the evolutionary computation communities. This monograph is suitable as a secondary text for graduate level computational intelligence courses, and as a reference for researchers, lecturers, and practitioners in industry.

Evolutionary Multi Objective is an important area which is presently gaining considerable attention. There is a lack of books in the area. The book will be recommended for the authors' two computational intelligence courses (often with a total of over 150 students)

Klappentext

Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms and Applications provides comprehensive treatment on the design of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and their applications in domains covering areas such as control and scheduling. Emphasizing both the theoretical developments and the practical implementation of multiobjective evolutionary algorithms, a profound mathematical knowledge is not required. Written for a wide readership, engineers, researchers, senior undergraduates and graduate students interested in the field of evolutionary algorithms and multiobjective optimization with some basic knowledge of evolutionary computation will find this book a useful addition to their book case.
