A hierarchical evolutionary approach to multi-objective optimization
Christine L. Mumford · 2005
This work describes a hierarchical evolutionary approach to Pareto-based multi-objective optimization. Using the SEAMO algorithm (a simple evolutionary algorithm for multi-objective optimization) as a basis, it demonstrates how it is possible to obtain a better spread of results if subpopulations of various sizes are used in a simple hierarchical framework. Three alternative hierarchical models are tried and the results compared.
