Abstract: Multiobjective Evolutionary Computation has been a major research topic in the field of evolutionary computation for many years. It has been generally accepted that combination of evolutionary algorithms and traditional optimization methods should be a next generation multiobjective optimization solver. Decomposition methods have been well used and studied in traditional multiobjective optimization. It is well known that the Pareto optimal solution set of a continuous multiobjective problem often exhibits some regularity. In this talk, I will describe MOEA/D and its recent progress. MOEA/D decomposes a multiobjective problem into a number of subtasks, and then solves them in a collaborative manner.It provides a very natural bridge between multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and traditional decomposition methods. It has been a commonly used evolutionary algorithmic framework in recent years.
