Rapid penetration of smart wireless devices and enormous growth of wireless communication technologies has already set the stage for deployment of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). While these small sensor nodes are often considered as the future of wireless communications, they also Suffer from energy constraints. On the other hand. with increasing demand for real-time services in next generation wireless networks, quality-of-service (QoS)-based routing has emerged as an interesting research topic. Naturally offering some QoS-guarantee in sensor networks raises significant challenges. The network needs to cope up with battery-constraints, while providing precise QoS (end-to-end delay and bandwidth requirement) guarantee. More precisely, designing such QoS-protocols, optimizing multiple objectives, is computationally intractable. Based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA), in this paper we propose a QoS-based energy-efficient sensor rowing (QuESt) protocol that determines application-specific, near-optimal sensory-routes demand, by optimizing multiple QoS parameters, (end-to-end delay and bandwidth requirements) and energy consumption. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol is capable of discovering a set of QoS-based, near-optimal routes, even with imprecise network information.

As the size of ship has grown rapidly, the importance of exact fatigue strength assessment has been recognized more and more. High concern about fatigue crack often raises target fatigue life to two or three times of ship lifetime. This leads to the use of very thick plates to reduce dynamic stress range or the application of weld toe grinding to reduce stress concentration or removing weld defects. However, such measures can cause some troubles in fabrication process. As a fatigue strength assessment procedure, full stochastic fatigue analysis based on wave loads analysis has been recommended due to its high accuracy and straightforward approach. However, its huge computing time hinders a ship designer from making iterative explorations for a better design to minimize the use of aforementioned measures. This paper proposes an efficient approach to optimize plate thicknesses around hot spots and the applications of weld toe grinding with meeting the required target fatigue life based on the full stochastic fatigue assessment. Two conflicting objectives are taken into consideration: to minimize steel weight and to minimize total weld toe grinding length. Whether to employ weld toe grinding or not for a hot spot can be seen as a selection variable. In order to treat such selection variables along with continuous variables in the multi-objective optimization, multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) is introduced. This paper also employs adaptive approximation framework to resolve the computational burden of the full stochastic fatigue analysis in the optimization. The strategy to refit approximations iteratively can minimize the required number of analysis. A convergence criterion of the adaptive approximation framework is newly proposed considering the feature of discrete objective function attributed to the introduction of selection variables. One of the objective functions, toe grinding length, is purely depending on how many hot spots toe grindings are applied to.

This paper addresses the design of production-distribution networks including both supply chain configuration and related operational decisions such as order splitting, transportation allocation and inventory control. The goal is to achieve the best compromise between cost and customer service level. An optimization methodology that combines a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) and simulation is proposed to optimize not only the structure of the production-distribution network but also its operation strategies and related control parameters. A flexible simulation framework is developed to enable the automatic simulation of the production-distribution network with all possible configurations and all possible control strategies. To illustrate its effectiveness, the proposed method is applied to a real life case study from automotive industry.

Pre-processing of classification data can be helpful regardless of the type of classifier. The objective of this pre-processing step is to achieve a high degree of separation among classes before the classifier is trained or tested. This results into a trace ratio problem which is difficult to solve. Methods such as Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) have already been used for the solution of this problem by turning it into a simpler yet inexact problem. Also, in classical LDA, the covariances of different classes are assumed to be similar, which is not the case in real-world problems. In this paper, a class-dependent approach to finding the linear transformation is proposed. This method solves the trace ratio problem directly and also removes the requirement of similar covariance matrices. While giving good results, the method is computationally expensive. To reduce the computational cost while maintaining the benefits of the classdependent method, a multi-objective formulation is proposed and solved using NSGA-II. Simulation results show great improvement in classification using various classifiers.

In the small community like a family, there exist several TODO tasks to be performed cooperatively by the members for making the community life easier. The TODO tasks have to be performed by someone in the community, therefore, it is preferable that the tasks should be done by the members without a big burden. In this context, we focus on TODO task management in a family, and propose a method to make a schedule in which the family members cooperate each other to achieve TODO tasks by taking account of multiple constraints, e.g., members' expert ability, schedules, etc. To make such a schedule, we use multi-objective genetic algorithm.

To guarantee the safety and functionality of structures simultaneously at different levels of seismic loadings, this paper proposes a multi-objective switching fuzzy control (MOSFC) strategy. MOSFC functions as a trigger with two control states considered. When the structure is at the state of linear, the main objection of control is the peak acceleration. On the other hand, once the nonlinear appears, the control of peak inter-storey drift is the main objection. multi-objective genetic algorithm, NSGA-II, is employed for optimizing the fuzzy control rules. A scaled model of a six-storey building with two MR dampers installed at the two bottom floors is simulated here. Linear and Nonlinear numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness.

A novel approach to H/Hoptimal control is presented based on multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). To design H/Hcontroller with less conservativeness, a kind of MOGA for H/Hcontrol (HHMOGA)is especially developed. HHMOGA takes the solutions of linear matrix inequality (LMI) method as initial population. Non-dominated sorting, niche, and elitist strategy are employed in order to ensure a better design. Simulation results show that HHMOGA can achieve better performances as compared with LMI method.

According to the recent demand for materials for use in various displays and solid-state lighting, new phosphors with improved performance have been consistently pursued. multi-objectivegenetic-algorithm-assisted combinatorial-material-search (MOGACMS) strategies have been applied to various multi-compositional inorganic systems to search for new phosphors and to optimize the properties of phosphors. In addition, the troublesome, complex problem of high-throughput experimentation (HTE), the inconsistency, which is frequently faced by combinatorial material scientists, is especially emphasized. The luminance and inconsistency was treated as two objective functions in our MOGACMS strategy to pinpoint and optimize promising phosphors with high photoluminance and reliable reproducibility. Using MOGACMS, several multi-dimensional oxide systems were screened in term of the minimization of inconsistency and the maximization of luminance.

This paper presents a multi-objective genetic algorithm (moGA) to solve the U-shaped assembly line balancing problem (UALBP). As a consequence of introducing the just-in-time (JIT) production principle, it has been recognized that U-shaped assembly line systems offer several benefits over the traditional straight line systems. We consider both the traditional straight line system and the U-shaped assembly line system, thus as an unbiased examination of line efficiency. The performance criteria considered are the number of workstations (the line efficiency) and the variation of workload. The results of experiments show that the proposed model produced as good or even better line efficiency of workstation integration and improved the variation of workload.
