Applying multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm for solving the unequal area facility layout problems

The unequal area facility layout problem (UA-FLP) which deals with the layout of departments in a facility comprises of a class of extremely difficult and widely applicable multi-objective optimization problems with constraints arising in diverse areas and meeting the requirements for real-world applications. Based on the heuristic strategy, the problem is first converted into an unconstrained optimization problem. Then, we use a modified version of the multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithm which is a heuristic global optimization algorithm and has shown promising performances in solving many optimization problems to solve the multi-objective UA-FLP. In the modified MOACO algorithm, the ACO with heuristic layout updating strategy which is proposed to update the layouts and add the diversity of solutions is a discrete ACO algorithm, with a difference from general ACO algorithms for discrete domains which perform an incremental construction of solutions but the ACO in this paper does not. We propose a novel pheromone update method and combine the Pareto optimization based on the local pheromone communication and the global search based on the niche technology to obtain Pareto-optimal solutions of the problem. In addition, the combination of the local search based on the adaptive gradient method and the heuristic department deformation strategy is applied to deal with the non-overlapping constraint between departments so as to obtain feasible solutions. Ten benchmark instances from the literature are tested. The experimental results show that the proposed MOACO algorithm is an effective method for solving the UA-FLP.     

求解高维多目标调度的新型人工蜂群算法

高维多目标连续优化问题已得到广泛研究,而高维多目标组合优化问题的进展相对较小,虽然人工蜂群(Artificial Bee Colony,ABC)算法已成功应用于多种生产调度问题,但很少被用来求解高维多目标调度问题,而且高维多目标调度自身的研究进展也非常小。针对高维多目标柔性作业车间调度问题,文中提出了一种新型ABC算法以同时优化最大完成时间、总延迟时间、总能耗和机器总负荷。与常规柔性作业车间调度问题不同,上述问题考虑了总能耗,使其成为绿色调度问题。新型ABC具有明显不同于现有ABC算法的新特点,其跟随蜂(onlooker bee)的数量小于引领蜂(employed bee),引领蜂侧重于全局搜索,而跟随蜂只进行局部搜索,通过两类蜜蜂彼此各异的搜索方式来避免算法陷入局部最优。同时,该算法将跟随对象限定为质量较好的部分引领蜂和外部档案成员,其他引领蜂无法成为跟随对象,以避免计算资源浪费在较差解的搜索上,并给出了侦查蜂(scout)新的处理策略。测试实例的仿真实验表明,高维多目标调度问题中非劣解数量占种群规模的比例明显低于高维连续优化问题。将新型ABC与多目标遗传算法和变邻域搜索进行比较,实...     

Multi-objective service composition model based on cost-effective optimization

The widespread application of cloud computing results in the exuberant growth of services with the same functionality. Quality of service (QoS) is mostly applied to represent nonfunctional properties of services, and has become an important basis for service selection. The object of most existing optimization methods is to maximize the QoS, which restricts the diversity of users’ requirements. In this paper, instead of optimization for the single object, we take maximization of QoS and minimization of cost as two objects, and a novel multi-objective service composition model based on cost-effective optimization is designed according to the complicated QoS requirements of users. Furthermore, to solve this complex optimization problem, the Elite-guided Multi-objective Artificial Bee Colony (EMOABC) algorithm is proposed from the addition of fast nondominated sorting method, population selection strategy, elite-guided discrete solution generation strategy and multi-objective fitness calculation method into the original ABC algorithm. The experiments on two datasets demonstrate that EMOABC has an advantage both on the quality of solution and efficiency as compared to other algorithms. Therefore, the proposed method can be better applicable to the cloud services selection and composition.

Multi-objective shape optimization using ant colony coupled computational fluid dynamics solver

An adaptation of a parametric ant colony optimization (ACO) to multi-objective optimization (MOO) is presented in this paper. In this algorithm (here onwards called MACO) the concept of MOO is achieved using the reference point (or goal vector) optimization strategy by applying scalarization. This method translates the multi-objective optimization problem to a single objective optimization problem. The ranking is done using ?-dominance with modified L_p metric strategy. The minimization of the maximum distance from the goal vector drives the solution close to the goal vector. A few validation test cases with multi-objectives have been demonstrated. MACO was found to out perform R-NSGA-II for the test cases considered. This algorithm was then integrated with a meshless computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver to perform aerodynamic shape optimization of an airfoil. The algorithm was successful in reaching the optimum solutions near to the goal vector on one hand. On the other hand the algorithm converged to an optimum outside the boundary specified by the user for the control variables. These make MACO a good contender for multi-objective shape optimization problems.

Handling expensive multi-objective optimization problems with a cluster-based neighborhood regression model

This paper gives attention to multi-objective optimization in scenarios where objective function evaluation is expensive, that is, expensive multi-objective optimization. We firstly propose a cluster-based neighborhood regression model, which incorporates the linear regression technique to predict the descent direction and generate new potential offspring. Combining this model with the classical decomposition-based multi-objective optimization framework, we propose an efficient and effective algorithm for tackling computationally expensive multi-objective optimization problems. As opposed to the conventional approach of replacing the original time-consuming objective functions with the approximated ones obtained by surrogate model, the proposed algorithm incorporates the proposed regression model to serve as an operator producing higher-quality offspring so that the algorithm requires fewer iterations to reach a given solution quality. The proposed algorithm is compared with several state-of-the-art surrogate-assisted algorithms on a variety of well-known benchmark problems. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms or is competitive with other peer algorithms, and has the ability to keep a good trade-off between solution quality and running time within a fairly small number of function evaluations. In particular, our proposed algorithm shows obvious superiority in terms of the computational time used for the algorithm components, and can obtain acceptable solutions for expensive problems with high efficiency.

Hybrid multi-objective shape design optimization using Taguchi’s method and genetic algorithm

This research is based on a new hybrid approach, which deals with the improvement of shape optimization process. The objective is to contribute to the development of more efficient shape optimization approaches in an integrated optimal topology and shape optimization area with the help of genetic algorithms and robustness issues. An improved genetic algorithm is introduced to solve multi-objective shape design optimization problems. The specific issue of this research is to overcome the limitations caused by larger population of solutions in the pure multi-objective genetic algorithm. The combination of genetic algorithm with robust parameter design through a smaller population of individuals results in a solution that leads to better parameter values for design optimization problems. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid approach is illustrated and evaluated with test problems taken from literature. It is also shown that the proposed approach can be used as first stage in other multi-objective genetic algorithms to enhance the performance of genetic algorithms. Finally, the shape optimization of a vehicle component is presented to illustrate how the present approach can be applied for solving multi-objective shape design optimization problems.     

Identifying key players in large social networks by using a multi-objective artificial bee colony optimization approach

Identifying a set of individuals that have an influential relevance and act as key players is a matter of interest in many real world situations, especially in those related to the Internet. Although several approaches have been proposed in order to identify key players sets, they mainly focus just on the optimization of a single objective. This may lead to a poor performance since the sets identified are not usually able to perform well in real life applications where more objectives of interest are taken into account. Multi-objective optimization seems the natural extension for this task, but there is a lack of this type of methodologies in the scientific literature. An efficient Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony (MOABC) algorithm is proposed to address the key players identification problem and is applied in the context of six networks of different dimensions and characteristics. The proposed approach is able to best identify the key players than the ones previously proposed, especially in the context of large social networks. The model performance of the proposed approach has been evaluated according to different quality metrics. The results from the MOABC execution show important improvements with respect to the best multi-objective results in the scientific literature, specifically, in average, 13.20% of improvement in Hypervolume, 120.39% in Coverage Relation and 125.52% in number of non-dominated solutions. Even more, the proposed algorithm is also more robust when repeating executions.     

An effective ant colony optimization algorithm for multi-objective job-shop scheduling with equal-size lot-splitting

This paper proposes several novel hybrid ant colony optimization (ACO)-based algorithms to resolve multi-objective job-shop scheduling problem with equal-size lot splitting. The main issue discussed in this paper is lot-splitting of jobs and tradeoff between lot-splitting costs and makespan. One of the disadvantages of ACO is its uncertainty on time of convergence. In order to enrich search patterns of ACO and improve its performance, five enhancements are made in the proposed algorithms including: A new type of pheromone and greedy heuristic function; Three new functions of state transition rules; A nimble local search algorithm for the improvements of solution quality; Mutation mechanism for divisive searching; A particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based algorithm for adaptive tuning of parameters. The objectives that are used to measure the quality of the generated schedules are weighted-sum of makespan, tardiness of jobs and lot-splitting cost. The developed algorithms are analyzed extensively on real-world data obtained from a printing company and simulated data. A mathematical programming model is developed and paired-samples t-tests are performed between obtained solutions of mathematical programming model and proposed algorithms in order to verify effectiveness of proposed algorithms.
