Multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been widely used in real-world
applications. However, most MOEAs based on Pareto-dominance handle many-objective …

Problems with multiple objectives arise in a natural fashion in most disciplines and their
solution has been a challenge to researchers for a long time. Despite the considerable …

The last decade has seen a surge of research activity on multiobjective optimization using
evolutionary computation and a number of well performing algorithms have been published …

Public health-care facilities are essential to all communities, and their location/allocation has
long been an important issue in urban planning. Given the steady growth of Hong Kong's …

The concept of optimization—finding the extrema of a function that maps candidate'solutions'
to scalar values of 'quality'—is an extremely general and useful idea that can be, and is …

It is prevalent that the Pareto-based dominant framework is inefficient in non-dominated
sorting because the performance sharply deteriorates when there are numerous weak …

The slope stability analysis is routinely performed by engineers to evaluate the stability of
embankment dams, road embankments, river training works, excavations and retaining …

While working on a software specification, designers usually need to evaluate different
architectural alternatives to be sure that quality criteria are met. Even when these quality …

Land use and land use change have been proven to be leading causes of local climate
change. In cities that undergo rapid urbanization, the urban heat island (UHI) can generate …

During the process of pouring an arch dam, it can be challenging to accurately determine
the temperature distribution of concrete pouring blocks. This paper uses distributed fiber …
