Abstract
This paper states a novel, Evolutionary Metaheuristic Based on the Automata Theory (EMODS) for the multiobjective optimization of combinatorial problems. The proposed algorithm uses the natural selection theory in order to explore the feasible solutions space of a combinatorial problem. Due to this, local optimums are often avoided. Also, EMODS exploits the optimization process from the Metaheuristic of Deterministic Swapping to avoid finding unfeasible solutions. The proposed algorithm was tested using well known multi-objective TSP instances from the TSPLIB. Its results were compared against others Automata Theory inspired Algorithms using metrics from the specialized literature. In every case, the EMODS results on the metrics were always better and in some of those cases, the distance from the true solutions was 0.89%.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Computers Communications & Control is directed to the international communities of scientific researchers in computers, communications and control, from the universities, research units and industry. To differentiate from other similar journals, the editorial policy of IJCCC encourages the submission of original scientific papers that focus on the integration of the 3 "C" (Computing, Communications, Control).
In particular, the following topics are expected to be addressed by authors:
(1) Integrated solutions in computer-based control and communications;
(2) Computational intelligence methods & Soft computing (with particular emphasis on fuzzy logic-based methods, computing with words, ANN, evolutionary computing, collective/swarm intelligence);
(3) Advanced decision support systems (with particular emphasis on the usage of combined solvers and/or web technologies).
