Inflationary differential evolution for Constrained Multi-Objective Optimisation Problem
In this paper we review several parameter-based scalarisation approaches used within Multi-Objective Optimisation. We propose then a proof-of-concept for a new memetic algorithm designed to solve the Constrained Multi-Objective Optimisation Problem. The algorithm is finally tested on a benchmark with a series of difficulties
Computational framework for interactive architecting of complex systems
Presented is a novel framework for interactive systems architecture definition at early design stages. It incorporates graph‐theoretic data structures, entity relationships, and algorithms that enable the systems architect to operate interactively and simultaneously in different domains. It explicitly captures the “zigzagging” of the functional reasoning process, including not only allocated, but also the derived functions. A prototype software tool, AirCADia Architect, was implemented, which allowed the framework to be demonstrated to and tried hands‐on by practicing aircraft systems architects. The tool enables architects to effectively express their ideas when interactively synthesizing new architectures, while still retaining control over the process. The proposed approach was especially acknowledged as the way forward for rationale capture
