  2. 1. Dynamic Resampling for Preference-based Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization of Stochastic Systems : Improving the efficiency of time-constrained optimization

    Author : Florian Siegmund; Kalyanmoy Deb; Amos H.C. Ng; Sanaz Mostaghim; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Evolutionary multi-objective optimization; simulation-based optimization; guided search; preference-based optimization; reference point; decision support; noise; stochastic systems; dynamic resampling; budget allocation; sequential sampling; hybrid; ranking and selection; Natural sciences; Naturvetenskap; Technology; Teknik; Production and Automation Engineering; Produktion och automatiseringsteknik;

    Abstract : In preference-based Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization (EMO), the decision maker is looking for a diverse, but locally focused non-dominated front in a preferred area of the objective space, as close as possible to the true Pareto-front. Since solutions found outside the area of interest are considered less important or even irrelevant, the optimization can focus its efforts on the preferred area and find the solutions that the decision maker is looking for more quickly, i.

  4. 2. Numerical optimization of hull/propeller/rudder configurations

    Author : Kaijia Han; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fuel cost savings; optimization; pressure fluctuation; self-propulsion; RANS; verification and validation; cavitation; open water; lifting surface; hull-propeller-rudder; effective wake; efficiency; aspect ratio; lifting line; interaction;

    Abstract : The new framework of the global economy has stimulated and expanded the shipbuilding and shipping industry, especially in Asia in the twenty-first century. This induces urgent and high requirements on designing and building both conventional and new types of ships with high performance, such as high speed, manoeuvrability, seaworthiness and so on.

  5. 3. JOINING SEQUENCE ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION FOR IMPROVED GEOMETRICAL QUALITY

    Author : Roham Sadeghi Tabar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Efficiency; Optimization; Sequencing; Geometrical Quality; Non-Rigid Variation Simulation; Joining;

    Abstract : Disturbances in the manufacturing and assembly processes cause geometrical variation from the ideal geometry. This variation eventually results in functional and aesthetic problems in the final product. Being able to control the disturbances is the desire of the manufacturing industry. READ MORE

  6. 4. Multicriteria optimization for managing tradeoffs in radiation therapy treatment planning

    Author : Rasmus Bokrantz; Anders Forsgren; Karl-Heinz Küfer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; multicriteria optimization; robust optimization; Pareto optimality; Pareto surface approximation; Pareto surface navigation; intensity-modulated radiation therapy; volumetric-modulated arc therapy; intensity-modulated proton therapy; Optimering; flermålsoptimering; robust optimering; Paretooptimalitet; Paretofrontsapproximation; Paretofrontsnavigering; intensitetsmodulerad strålterapi; rotationsterapi; intensitetsmodulerad protonterapi;

    Abstract : Treatment planning for radiation therapy inherently involves tradeoffs, such as between tumor control and normal tissue sparing, between time-efficiency and dose quality, and between nominal plan quality and robustness. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods that can facilitate decision making related to such tradeoffs. READ MORE
