Project: Transforming Multi-Objective Optimisation Problems into Single-Objective Problems using Hypervolume
Supervisor(s): Luigi Barone
Project status: withdrawn 08/12/05


Many real-world problems require the optimisation of a number of conflicting performance goals. This multi-objective optimisation requires selection between incomparable solutions, each representing a trade-off in some objective. Unlike single-objective problems, there is no simple way of assigning an absolute rank to each solution. Recent advances in algorithms for calculating the volume represented by a multi-objective set of solutions allows for the possibility of converting multiple objectives into a single metric (the hypervolume of the set), thus avoiding the problem of incomparability among solutions. The aim of this project is to develop a more effective evolutionary algorithm by transforming a multi-objective problem into a single-objective problem using hypervoulme.
