IEEE CIS Seminar - 4
Where is the research on evolutionary multi-objective optimization heading to?
Abstract:The first multi-objective evolutionary algorithm was published in 1985. However, it was not until the late 1990s that so-called evolutionary multi-objective optimization began to gain popularity as a research area. Throughout these 33 years, there have been several important advances in the area, including the development of different families of algorithms, test problems, performance indicators, hybrid methods and real-world applications, among many others. In the first part of this talk we will take a quick look at some of these developments, focusing mainly on some of the most important recent achievements. In the second part of the talk, a critical analysis will be made of the by analogy research that has proliferated in recent years in specialized journals and conferences (perhaps as a side effect of the abundance of publications in this area). Much of this research has a very low level of innovation and almost no scientific input, but is backed by a large number of statistical tables and analyses. In the third and final part of the talk, some of the future research challenges for this area, which, after 33 years of existence, is just beginning to mature, will be briefly mentioned.

Professor Carlos Coello Coello
Biography:
Carlos A. Coello Coello (M’98–SM’04–F’11) received PhD degree in computer science from Tulane University, USA, in 1996. He is currently Professor (CINVESTAV-3F Researcher)at the Computer Science Department of CINVESTAV-IPN, in Mexico City, México. Dr. Coello has authored and co-authored over 450 technical papers and book chapters. He has also co-authored the book Evolutionary Algorithms for Solving Multi-Objective Problems (Second Edition, Springer,2007). His publications currently report over 35,800 citations in Google Scholar (his h-index is 76). Currently, he is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation and serves in the editorial board of 12 other international journals. His major research interests are: evolutionary multi-objective optimization and constraint-handling techniques for evolutionary algorithms. He received the 2007 National Research Award from the Mexican Academy of Sciences in the area of Exact Sciences, the 2013 IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award and the 2012 National Medal of Science and Arts in the area of Physical, Mathematical and Natural Sciences. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of the ACM and the Mexican Academy of Sciences.
