Utilizing artificial intelligence to solving time - cost - quality trade-off problem.

This study presents the Slime Mold Algorithm (SMA) to solve the time-cost-quality trade-off problem in a construction project. The proposed SMA is a flexible and efficient algorithm in exploration and exploitation to reach the best optimal solution to process the input model's data. This paper aims to discuss and solve the optimization problem and compare the evaluation with other algorithms such as Opposition-based Multiple Objective Differential Evolution, Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, Multiple objective particle swarm optimization, Multiple objective differential evolution and Chaotic initialized multiple objective differential evolution (CAMODE) to verify the efficiency and potential of the proposed algorithm.
