  text: Here we address the problem of computing finite size Hausdorff approximations
    of the Pareto front of four-objective optimization problems by means of evolutionary
    computing. Since many applications desire an approximation evenly spread along
    the Pareto front and approximations that are good in the Hausdorff sense are typically
    evenly spread along the Pareto front we consider three different evolutionary
    multi-objective algorithms tailored to that purpose, where two of them are based
    on the Part and Selection Algorithm (PSA). Finally, we present some numerical
    results indicating the strength of the novel methods.

  text: Current StarCraft bots are not very flexible in their strategy choice, most
    of them just follow a manually optimized one, usually a rush. We suggest a method
    of augmenting existing bots via Fuzzy Control in order to make them react on the
    current game situation. According to the available information, the best matching
    of a pool of strategies is chosen. While the method is very general and can be
    applied easily to many bots, we implement it for the existing BTHAI bot and show
    experimentally how the modifications affects its gameplay, and how it is improved
    compared to the original version.

  text: In multiobjective optimization, the identification of practically relevant
    solutions on the Pareto-optimal front is an important research topic. Desirability
    functions (DFs) allow the preferences of the decision maker to be specified in
    an intuitive way. Recently, it has been shown for continuous optimization problems
    that an a priori transformation of the objectives by means of DFs can be used
    to focus the search of a hypervolume-based evolutionary algorithm on the desired
    part of the front. In many-objective optimization, however, the computational
    complexity of the hypervolume can become a crucial part. Thus, an alternative
    to this approach will be presented in this paper. The new algorithm operates in
    the untransformed objective space, but the desirability index (DI), that is, a
    DF-based scalarization, will be used as the second-level selection criterion in
    the non-dominated sorting. The diversity and uniform distribution of the resulting
    approximation are ensured by the use of an external archive. In the experiments,
    different preferences are specified as DFs, and their effects are investigated.
    It is shown that trade-off solutions are generated in the desired regions of the
    Pareto-optimal front and with a density adaptive to the DI. The efficiency of
    the approach with respect to increasing objective space dimension is also analysed
    using scalable test functions. The convergence speed is superior to other set-based
    and preference-based evolutionary multiobjective algorithms while the approach
    is of low computational complexity due to cheap DI evaluations. Copyright © 2013

  text: In multi-objective optimization, set-based performance indicators have become
    the state of the art for assessing the quality of Pareto front approximations.
    As a consequence, they are also more and more used within the design of multi-objective
    optimization algorithms. The R2 and the Hypervolume (HV) indicator represent two
    popular examples. In order to understand the behavior and the approximations preferred
    by these indicators and algorithms, a comprehensive knowledge of the indicator’s
    properties is required. Whereas this knowledge is available for the HV, we presented
    a first approach in this direction for the R2 indicator just recently. In this
    paper, we build upon this knowledge and enhance the considerations with respect
    to the integration of preferences into the R2 indicator. More specifically, we
    analyze the effect of the reference point, the domain of the weights, and the
    distribution of weight vectors on the optimization of $\mu$ solutions with respect
    to the R2 indicator. By means of theoretical findings and empirical evidence,
    we show the potentials of these three possibilities using the optimal distribution
    of $\mu$ solutions for exemplary setups.

  text: An indicator-based evolutionary multiobjective optimization algorithm (EMOA)
    is introduced which incorporates the contribution to the unary R2-indicator as
    the secondary selection criterion. First experiments indicate that the R2-EMOA
    accurately approximates the Pareto front of the considered continuous multiobjective
    optimization problems. Furthermore, decision makers’ preferences can be included
    by adjusting the weight vector distributions of the indicator which results in
    a focused search behavior.

  text: Meta-heuristics are frequently used to tackle NP-hard combinatorial optimization
    problems. With this paper we contribute to the understanding of the success of
    2-opt based local search algorithms for solving the traveling salesperson problem
    (TSP). Although 2-opt is widely used in practice, it is hard to understand its
    success from a theoretical perspective. We take a statistical approach and examine
    the features of TSP instances that make the problem either hard or easy to solve.
    As a measure of problem difficulty for 2-opt we use the approximation ratio that
    it achieves on a given instance. Our investigations point out important features
    that make TSP instances hard or easy to be approximated by 2-opt.

  text: Meta-heuristics are frequently used to tackle NP-hard combinatorial optimization
    problems. With this paper we contribute to the understanding of the success of
    2-opt based local search algorithms for solving the traveling salesperson problem
    (TSP). Although 2-opt is widely used in practice, it is hard to understand its
    success from a theoretical perspective. We take a statistical approach and examine
    the features of TSP instances that make the problem either hard or easy to solve.
    As a measure of problem difficulty for 2-opt we use the approximation ratio that
    it achieves on a given instance. Our investigations point out important features
    that make TSP instances hard or easy to be approximated by 2-opt.

  text: In multiobjective optimization, set-based performance indicators are commonly
    used to assess the quality of a Pareto front approximation. Based on the scalarization
    obtained by these indicators, a performance comparison of multiobjective optimization
    algorithms becomes possible. The R2 and the Hypervolume (HV) indicator represent
    two recommended approaches which have shown a correlated behavior in recent empirical
    studies. Whereas the HV indicator has been comprehensively analyzed in the last
    years, almost no studies on the R2 indicator exist. In this paper, we thus perform
    a comprehensive investigation of the properties of the R2 indicator in a theoretical
    and empirical way. The influence of the number and distribution of the weight
    vectors on the optimal distribution of μ solutions is analyzed. Based on a comparative
    analysis, specific characteristics and differences of the R2 and HV indicator
    are presented.

  text: The steady supply of new optimization methods makes the algorithm selection
    problem (ASP) an increasingly pressing and challenging task, specially for real-world
    black-box optimization problems. The introduced approach considers the ASP as
    a cost-sensitive classification task which is based on Exploratory Landscape Analysis.
    Low-level features gathered by systematic sampling of the function on the feasible
    set are used to predict a well-performing algorithm out of a given portfolio.
    Example-specific label costs are defined by the expected runtime of each candidate
    algorithm. We use one-sided support vector regression to solve this learning problem.
    The approach is illustrated by means of the optimization problems and algorithms
    of the BBOB’09/10 workshop.

  text: Meta-modeling has become a crucial tool in solving expensive optimization
    problems. Much of the work in the past has focused on finding a good regression
    method to model the fitness function. Examples include classical linear regression,
    splines, neural networks, Kriging and support vector regression. This paper specifically
    draws attention to the fact that assessing model accuracy is a crucial aspect
    in the meta-modeling framework. Resampling strategies such as cross-validation,
    subsampling, bootstrapping, and nested resampling are prominent methods for model
    validation and are systematically discussed with respect to possible pitfalls,
    shortcomings, and specific features. A survey of meta-modeling techniques within
    evolutionary optimization is provided. In addition, practical examples illustrating
    some of the pitfalls associated with model selection and performance assessment
    are presented. Finally, recommendations are given for choosing a model validation
    technique for a particular setting.

  text: With this paper we contribute to the understanding of the success of 2-opt
    based local search algorithms for solving the traveling salesman problem TSP.
    Although 2-opt is widely used in practice, it is hard to understand its success
    from a theoretical perspective. We take a statistical approach and examine the
    features of TSP instances that make the problem either hard or easy to solve.
    As a measure of problem difficulty for 2-opt we use the approximation ratio that
    it achieves on a given instance. Our investigations point out important features
    that make TSP instances hard or easy to be approximated by 2-opt.

  text: Exploratory Landscape Analysis subsumes a number of techniques employed to
    obtain knowledge about the properties of an unknown optimization problem, especially
    insofar as these properties are important for the performance of optimization
    algorithms. Where in a first attempt, one could rely on high-level features designed
    by experts, we approach the problem from a different angle here, namely by using
    relatively cheap low-level computer generated features. Interestingly, very few
    features are needed to separate the BBOB problem groups and also for relating
    a problem to high-level, expert designed features, paving the way for automatic
    algorithm selection.

    or optimality criteria is often impossible. Thus, sophisticated heuristic online
    stopping criteria (OSC) have recently become subject of intensive research. In
    order to establish formal guidelines for a systematic research, we present a taxonomy
    of OSC in this paper. We integrate the known approaches within the taxonomy and
    discuss them by extracting their building blocks. The formal structure of the
    taxonomy is used as a basis for the implementation of a comprehensive MATLAB toolbox.
    Both contributions, the formal taxonomy and the MATLAB implementation, provide
    a framework for the analysis and evaluation of existing and new OSC approaches.

  text: ' Evolutionary (multi-objective optimization) algorithms (EMOAs) are widely
    accepted to be competitive optimization methods in industry today. However, normally
    only standard techniques are employed by the engineering experts. Here, it is
    shown how these standard techniques can be completed and improved with respect
    to interactivity to other tools, runtime, and parameterization. The coupling with
    metamodels serves as an example for the interactivity to other tools, while the
    online convergence detection relates to runtime, i.e. stopping criteria. Finally,
    sequential parameter optimization improves results focussing on parameter tuning.
    We show that invoking all these methods on their own already enhances EMOAs for
    aerodynamic applications. It is concluded with an outlook on how these methods
    might come together to foster aerospace applications and, at a time, widen the
    application area to multi-disciplinary optimization tasks. '

  text: The integration of experts’ preferences is an important aspect in multi-objective
    optimization. Usually, one out of a set of Pareto optimal solutions has to be
    chosen based on expert knowledge. A combination of multi-objective particle swarm
    optimization (MOPSO) with the desirability concept is introduced to efficiently
    focus on desired and relevant regions of the true Pareto front of the optimization
    problem which facilitates the solution selection process. Desirability functions
    of the objectives are optimized, and the desirability index is used for selecting
    the global best particle in each iteration. The resulting MOPSO variant DF-MOPSO
    in most cases exclusively generates solutions in the desired area of the Pareto
    front. Approximations of the whole Pareto front result in cases of misspecified
    desired regions.
