Active robust optimization: enhancing robustness to uncertain environments.

Many real world optimization problems involve uncertainties. A solution for such a problem is expected to be robust to these uncertainties. Commonly, robustness is attained by choosing the solution's parameters such that the solution's performance is less influenced by negative effects of the uncertain parameters' variations.

Interactive evolutionary multiobjective search and optimization of set-based concepts.

This paper deals with interactive concept-based multiobjective problems (IC-MOPs) and their solution by an evolutionary computation approach. The presented methodology is motivated by the need to support engineers during the conceptual design stage. IC-MOPs are based on a nontraditional concept-based approach to search and optimization.
