报告摘要：
Many optimization problems in the real world, by nature, have multiple conflicting objectives. Unlike a single optimization problem, multiobjective optimization problem has a set of Pareto optimal solutions (Pareto front) which are often required by a decision maker. Evolutionary algorithms are able to generate an approximation to the Pareto front in a single run, and many traditional optimization methods have been also developed for dealing with multiple objectives. Combination of evolutionary algorithms and traditional optimization methods should be a next generation multiobjective optimization solver. Decomposition techniques have been well used and studied in traditional multiobjective optimization. Over the last several years, a lot of effort has been devoted to build efficient multiobjective evolutionary algorithms based on decomposition (MOEA/D). In this talk, I will describe main ideas and techniques and some recent development in MOEA/D. I will also discuss some possible research issues in multiobjective evolutionary computation.
