This textbook is the second edition of Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems, significantly augmented with contemporary knowledge and adapted for the classroom. All the various features of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) are presented in an innovative and student-friendly fashion, incorporating state-of-the-art research results. The diversity of serial and parallel MOEA structures are given, evaluated and compared. The book provides detailed insight into the application of MOEA techniques to an array of practical problems. The assortment of test suites are discussed along with the variety of appropriate metrics and relevant statistical performance techniques.
Distinctive features of the new edition include

Designed for graduate courses on Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization, with exercises and links to a complete set of teaching material including tutorials
Updated and expanded MOEA exercises, discussion questions and research ideas at the end of each chapter
New chapter devoted to coevolutionary and memetic MOEAs with added material on solving constrained multi-objective problems
Additional material on the most recent MOEA test functions and performance measures, as well as on the latest developments on the theoretical foundations of MOEAs
An exhaustive index and bibliography
This self-contained reference is invaluable to students, researchers and in particular to computer scientists, operational research scientists and engineers working in evolutionary computation, genetic algorithms and artificial intelligence.
