Project

Towards More Effective Multi-objective Meta-Heuristics to Solve Complex Combinatorial Problems.

Supervisors

Dario Landa-Silva, Rong Qu

Research Interests

• Multi-objective optimization
• Swarm Intelligence
• Combinatorial optimization
• Machine Learning

Research

The aim of our investigation is to explore novel strategies to the design and implementaion of effective meta-heuristics to tackle complex multi-objective combinatorial problems. To this aim, we are developing a Particle Swarm Optimser (PSO) able to explore complex discrete spaces. We are testing this approach on the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW).
