  4. 3. Solving Multiple Objective Optimization Problem using Multi-Agent Systems: A case in Logistics Management

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Venkata Sai Teja Pennada; [2020]
    Keywords : Multiple Objective Optimization Problem; Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II; Multi-agent systems; Multi-objective optimization model; Single-objective optimization model.;

    Abstract : Background: Multiple Objective Optimization problems(MOOPs) are common and evident in every field. Container port terminals are one of the fields in which MOOP occurs. In this research, we have taken a case in logistics management and modelled Multi-agent systems to solve the MOOP using Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II). READ MORE
