  text: 'Evolutionary algorithms have successfully been applied to evolve problem
    instances that exhibit a significant difference in performance for a given algorithm
    or a pair of algorithms inter alia for the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP).
    Creating a large variety of instances is crucial for successful applications in
    the blooming field of algorithm selection. In this paper, we introduce new and
    creative mutation operators for evolving instances of the TSP. We show that adopting
    those operators in an evolutionary algorithm allows for the generation of benchmark
    sets with highly desirable properties: (1) novelty by clear visual distinction
    to established benchmark sets in the field, (2) visual and quantitative diversity
    in the space of TSP problem characteristics, and (3) significant performance differences
    with respect to the restart versions of heuristic state-of-the-art TSP solvers
    EAX and LKH. The important aspect of diversity is addressed and achieved solely
    by the proposed mutation operators and not enforced by explicit diversity preservation.'

  text: We tackle a bi-objective dynamic orienteering problem where customer requests
    arise as time passes by. The goal is to minimize the tour length traveled by a
    single delivery vehicle while simultaneously keeping the number of dismissed dynamic
    customers to a minimum. We propose a dynamic Evolutionary Multi-Objective Algorithm
    which is grounded on insights gained from a previous series of work on an a-posteriori
    version of the problem, where all request times are known in advance. In our experiments,
    we simulate different decision maker strategies and evaluate the development of
    the Pareto-front approximations on exemplary problem instances. It turns out,
    that despite severely reduced computational budget and no oracle-knowledge of
    request times the dynamic EMOA is capable of producing approximations which partially
    dominate the results of the a-posteriori EMOA and dynamic integer linear programming
    strategies.

  text: A multiobjective perspective onto common performance measures such as the
    PAR10 score or the expected runtime of single-objective stochastic solvers is
    presented by directly investigating the tradeoff between the fraction of failed
    runs and the average runtime. Multi-objective indicators operating in the bi-objective
    space allow for an overall performance comparison on a set of instances paving
    the way for instance-based automated algorithm selection techniques.

  text: We analyze the effects of including local search techniques into a multi-objective
    evolutionary algorithm for solving a bi-objective orienteering problem with a
    single vehicle while the two conflicting objectives are minimization of travel
    time and maximization of the number of visited customer locations. Experiments
    are based on a large set of specifically designed problem instances with different
    characteristics and it is shown that local search techniques focusing on one of
    the objectives only improve the performance of the evolutionary algorithm in terms
    of both objectives. The analysis also shows that local search techniques are capable
    of sending locally optimal solutions to foremost fronts of the multi-objective
    optimization process, and that these solutions then become the leading factors
    of the evolutionary process.

  text: Assessing the performance of stochastic optimization algorithms in the field
    of multi-objective optimization is of utmost importance. Besides the visual comparison
    of the obtained approximation sets, more sophisticated methods have been proposed
    in the last decade, e. g., a variety of quantitative performance indicators or
    statistical tests. In this paper, we present tools implemented in the R package
    ecr, which assist in performing comprehensive and sound comparison and evaluation
    of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms following recommendations from the
    literature.

  text: Performance comparisons of optimization algorithms are heavily influenced
    by the underlying indicator(s). In this paper we investigate commonly used performance
    indicators for single-objective stochastic solvers, such as the Penalized Average
    Runtime (e.g., PAR10) or the Expected Running Time (ERT), based on exemplary benchmark
    performances of state-of-the-art inexact TSP solvers. Thereby, we introduce a
    methodology for analyzing the effects of (usually heuristically set) indicator
    parametrizations - such as the penalty factor and the method used for aggregating
    across multiple runs - w.r.t. the robustness of the considered optimization algorithms.

  text: The Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is one of the best-studied NP-hard
    problems. Over the years, many different solution approaches and solvers have
    been developed. For the first time, we directly compare five state-of-the-art
    inexact solvers\textemdash namely, LKH, EAX, restart variants of those, and MAOS\textemdash
    on a large set of well-known benchmark instances and demonstrate complementary
    performance, in that different instances may be solved most effectively by different
    algorithms. We leverage this complementarity to build an algorithm selector, which
    selects the best TSP solver on a per-instance basis and thus achieves significantly
    improved performance compared to the single best solver, representing an advance
    in the state of the art in solving the Euclidean TSP. Our in-depth analysis of
    the selectors provides insight into what drives this performance improvement.

  text: We analyze the effects of including local search techniques into a multi-objective
    evolutionary algorithm for solving a bi-objective orienteering problem with a
    single vehicle while the two conflicting objectives are minimization of travel
    time and maximization of the number of visited customer locations. Experiments
    are based on a large set of specifically designed problem instances with different
    characteristics and it is shown that local search techniques focusing on one of
    the objectives only improve the performance of the evolutionary algorithm in terms
    of both objectives. The analysis also shows that local search techniques are capable
    of sending locally optimal solutions to foremost fronts of the multi-objective
    optimization process, and that these solutions then become the leading factors
    of the evolutionary process.

  text: The Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) is one of the best-studied NP-hard
    problems. Over the years, many different solution approaches and solvers have
    been developed. For the first time, we directly compare five state-of-the-art
    inexact solvers—namely, LKH, EAX, restart variants of those, and MAOS—on a large
    set of well-known benchmark instances and demonstrate complementary performance,
    in that different instances may be solved most effectively by different algorithms.
    We leverage this complementarity to build an algorithm selector, which selects
    the best TSP solver on a per-instance basis and thus achieves significantly improved
    performance compared to the single best solver, representing an advance in the
    state of the art in solving the Euclidean TSP. Our in-depth analysis of the selectors
    provides insight into what drives this performance improvement.

  text: Performance comparisons of optimization algorithms are heavily influenced
    by the underlying indicator(s). In this paper we investigate commonly used performance
    indicators for single-objective stochastic solvers, such as the Penalized Average
    Runtime (e.g., PAR10) or the Expected Running Time (ERT), based on exemplary benchmark
    performances of state-of-the-art inexact TSP solvers. Thereby, we introduce a
    methodology for analyzing the effects of (usually heuristically set) indicator
    parametrizations - such as the penalty factor and the method used for aggregating
    across multiple runs - w.r.t. the robustness of the considered optimization algorithms.

  text: The novel R package ecr (version 2), short for Evolutionary Computation in
    R, provides a comprehensive collection of building blocks for constructing powerful
    evolutionary algorithms for single- and multi-objective continuous and combinatorial
    optimization problems. It allows to solve standard optimization tasks with few
    lines of code using a black-box approach. Moreover, rapid prototyping of non-standard
    ideas is possible via an explicit, white-box approach. This paper describes the
    design principles of the package and gives some introductory examples on how to
    use the package in practise.

  text: 'While finding minimum-cost spanning trees (MST) in undirected graphs is solvable
    in polynomial time, the multi-criteria minimum spanning tree problem (mcMST) is
    NP-hard. Interestingly, the mcMST problem has not been in focus of evolutionary
    computation research for a long period of time, although, its relevance for real
    world problems is easy to see. The available and most notable approaches by Zhou
    and Gen as well as by Knowles and Corne concentrate on solution encoding and on
    fairly dated selection mechanisms. In this work, we revisit the mcMST and focus
    on the mutation operators as exploratory components of evolutionary algorithms
    neglected so far. We investigate optimal solution characteristics to discuss current
    mutation strategies, identify shortcomings of these operators, and propose a sub-tree
    based operator which offers what we term Pareto-beneficial behavior: ensuring
    convergence and diversity at the same time. The operator is empirically evaluated
    inside modern standard evolutionary meta-heuristics for multi-criteria optimization
    and compared to hitherto applied mutation operators in the context of mcMST.'

  text: There exist many optimal or heuristic priority rules for machine scheduling
    problems, which can easily be integrated into single-objective evolutionary algorithms
    via mutation operators. However, in the multi-objective case, simultaneously applying
    different priorities for different objectives may cause severe disruptions in
    the genome and may lead to inferior solutions. In this paper, we combine an existing
    mutation operator concept with new insights from detailed observation of the structure
    of solutions for multi-objective machine scheduling problems. This allows the
    comprehensive integration of priority rules to produce better Pareto-front approximations.
    We evaluate the extended operator concept compared to standard swap mutation and
    the stand-alone components of our hybrid scheme, which performs best in all evaluated
    cases.

  text: Despite the intrinsic hardness of the Traveling Salesperson Problem (TSP)
    heuristic solvers, e.g., LKH+restart and EAX+restart, are remarkably successful
    in generating satisfactory or even optimal solutions. However, the reasons for
    their success are not yet fully understood. Recent approaches take an analytical
    viewpoint and try to identify instance features, which make an instance hard or
    easy to solve. We contribute to this area by generating instance sets for couples
    of TSP algorithms A and B by maximizing/minimizing their performance difference
    in order to generate instances which are easier to solve for one solver and much
    harder to solve for the other. This instance set offers the potential to identify
    key features which allow to distinguish between the problem hardness classes of
    both algorithms.

  text: State of the Art inexact solvers of the NP-hard Traveling Salesperson Problem
    TSP are known to mostly yield high-quality solutions in reasonable computation
    times. With the purpose of understanding different levels of instance difficulties,
    instances for the current State of the Art heuristic TSP solvers LKH+restart and
    EAX+restart are presented which are evolved using a sophisticated evolutionary
    algorithm. More specifically, the performance differences of the respective solvers
    are maximized resulting in instances which are easier to solve for one solver
    and much more difficult for the other. Focusing on both optimization directions,
    instance features are identified which characterize both types of instances and
    increase the understanding of solver performance differences.
