  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.

  text: Since many real-world optimization problems are noisy, vector optimization
    algorithms that can cope with noise and uncertainty are required. We propose new,
    robust selection strategies for evolutionary multi-objective optimization in the
    presence of noise. We apply new measures of uncertainty for estimating the recently
    introduced Pareto-dominance for uncertain and noisy environments (PDU). The first
    measure is the inter-quartile range of the outcomes of repeated function evaluations.
    The second is based on axis-aligned bounding boxes around the upper and lower
    quantiles of the sampled fitness values in objective space. Experiments on real
    and artificial problems show promising results.
