Pareto Optimization in Robotics With Acceleration Constraints
Earlier work demonstrated a finite number of Pareto-optimal classes of motion plans when the robots are subjected to velocity bounds but no acceleration bounds. We prove that, when velocity and acceleration are bounded, the finiteness result still holds for systems involving only two robots. In …

Visualizing Multidimensional Data with General Line Coordinates and Pareto Optimization
… from one graph to the next. Visualizing the Pareto Frontier with GLC-L allows n-D data to be viewed at once, compared to typical methods that are limited to 2 or 3 objectives at a time. This method details the process of selecting a ”best” case, from a group of equals in the Pareto Subset and …

Striking the Balance: Long-Term Groundwater Monitoring Design for Multiple Conflicting Objectives
… thesis demonstrates that combining higher order Pareto optimization (i.e., optimizing a system for more than 2 objectives) with visualization can allow designers in any field to assess the mathematical models used to represent their objectives, discover how their objectives are affecting designs, …

Diversity shrinkage of pareto-optimal solutions in hiring practice: Simulation, shrinkage formula, and a regularization technique
… is De Corte, Lievens, and Sackett’s (2007) Pareto-optimal weighting strategy. De Corte et al.’s strategy has been demonstrated on: (a) a composite of cognitive and noncognitive (e.g., personality) tests (De Corte, Lievens, & Sackett, 2008), and (b) a composite of specific cognitive ability …

Optimizing Railroad Tank Car Safety Design to Reduce Hazardous Materials Transportation Risk
… approach in which tank car safety design optimization is considered as a two-phase process. The first phase addresses the tradeoff between safety and transportation efficiency by using Pareto optimization to identify the most efficient design combinations to improve safety while minimizing …

Structural analysis and design of floating wind turbine systems
… hydrodynamic modeling software used to perform a Pareto Optimization which resulted in an optimized Floating Wind Turbine (FWT) design which is a Tension Leg Platform (TLP); hereto called MIT TLP-1. This thesis details the structural design aspects of Floating Wind Turbines (FWT) in a rationally …

A systems engineering methodology for fuel efficiency and its application to a tactical wheeled vehicle demonstrator
… simulation tools, and design space exploration / Pareto optimization. Object-Process Methodology (OPM) is used within the document to illustrate process elements and their relationships. A key element of the methodology is the intensive use of modeling and simulation to enable data driven decision …

Multi-attribute tradespace exploration for US Navy surface ship survivability: a framework for balancing capability, survivability, and affordability
… optimal set of designs using multi-dimensional Pareto-optimization methods. This thesis also demonstrates methods to navigate the space bound by the optimized set of designs so tradeoffs can be made while preserving the optimal balance of capability, survivability, and cost. Survivability-cost …

Predicting Bitcoin: a robust model for predicting Bitcoin price directions based on network influencers
… monthly. The second metric is based on the optimization of multiple objectives, the maximum increase in wealth with the least amount of activity using Pareto optimization. All of the major network influencers identified were then used as features, in combination with aggregate network …

Novel text entry and mobile interaction techniques for Arabic language users
… screen mobile phones. The approach is based on Pareto front optimization using three metrics: minimizing finger travel distance in order to maximize speed, minimizing neighboring key error ambiguities in order to maximize the quality of spell correction, and maximizing familiarity for Arabic …

Adsorption and membrane filtration for the separation and valorization of hemicellulose from organosolv beechwood hydrolyzates
… approach of response surface methodology and Pareto optimization was used. Optimum process parameters using the polymeric membrane UA60 were found to be a transmembrane pressure of 0.98 MPa, a temperature of 55 °C, and a pH of 2.5, resulting in a permeate flux of 49 L/(m²h), hemicellulose …

Evaluation Techniques for Mapping IPs on FPGAs
… yet complicated, is that a system-level optimization is not linearly summable. The discrete components of a system, benchmarked as best in all design parameters — speed, area and power, need not add up to the best possible system. This work addresses the problem in two ways. In the first …
