In this talk, we investigate Evolutionary Multiobjective Optimization (EMO) and related applications, including smart grid system designs, multiobjective control, robot navigation, antenna design, and radar waveform designs. Terminologies such as Multiobjective Optimization Problem (MOP), Pareto dominance, Pareto optimal set, and Pareto front are introduced. Algorithms termed Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) are discussed. By solving MOPs using MOEAs, a set of Pareto optimal solutions is obtained. To render multiobjective optimization relevant to practical applications, a final solution must be selected from the Pareto optimal set. This leads to Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). A minimum Manhattan distance approach to MCDM is discussed, as well as existing methods from the fields of operations research and evolutionary computation. We conclude this talk by presenting some informative illustrations regarding Pareto fronts and mentioning a few possible research directions for EMO.
