A Hybrid Meta-Heuristic for Multi-Objective Optimization: MOSATS (2006)
Journal Article
Baños, R., Gil, C., Paechter, B., & Ortega, J. (2007). A Hybrid Meta-Heuristic for Multi-Objective Optimization: MOSATS. Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms, 6(2), 213-230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10852-006-9041-6

Real optimization problems often involve not one, but multiple objectives, usually in conflict. In single-objective optimization there exists a global optimum, while in the multi-objective case no optimal solution is clearly defined but rather a set...
