The next seminar will be given on the October 24th, 2024, 2pm in B014 room, by Jonathan Fieldsend, Professor of Computational Intelligence at the University of Exeter, UK.
Title :
Some real-world applications (and solutions) of multi-objective optimisation
Abstract:
This talk will cover the application of multi-objective optimisation techniques to some of the practical problems he has been involved with during his academic career. Three industrial examples have been selected which span a wide range of problem characteristics, domains, and optimisation algorithm type used. The first applied problem, from air traffic control, is tuning a classification component of a short-term conflict alert system. The second, a sensor mesh routing problem in the heritage sector to maximise both network lifetime and time to first battery failure. The final problem is the stacked tray design in a wastewater separator — where the computational fluid dynamics evaluation takes multiple hours per design. The talk will step through the problem properties, the insights (and issues!) raised tackling real-world problems, and give some flavour of the range and applicability of algorithms employed.
The talk should be of interest to those interested in black-box and grey-box multi-objective optimisation, and the practicalities of working with, and addressing, industrial optimisation problems.
