System-on-chip (SOC) has become a mainstream design practice that integrates intellectual property cores on a single chip. The SOC test scheduling problem maximizes the simultaneous test of all cores by determining the order in which various cores are tested. The problem is tightly coupled with the test access mechanism (TAM) bandwidth and wrapper design. This paper presents a strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm for the SOC test scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the power-constrained test application time, wrapper design and TAM assignment in flat and hierarchical core-based systems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the method using the ITC’02 benchmarks.

In order to solve the multiobjective optimization problems efficiently, this paper presents a hybrid multiobjective optimization algorithm which originates from invasive weed optimization (IWO) and multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition (MOEA/D), a popular framework for multiobjective optimization. IWO is a simple but powerful numerical stochastic optimization method inspired from colonizing weeds; it is very robust and well adapted to changes in the environment. Based on the smart and distinct features of IWO and MOEA/D, we introduce multiobjective invasive weed optimization algorithm based on decomposition, abbreviated as MOEA/D-IWO, and try to combine their excellent features in this hybrid algorithm. The efficiency of the algorithm both in convergence speed and optimality of results are compared with MOEA/D and some other popular multiobjective optimization algorithms through a big set of experiments on benchmark functions. Experimental results show the competitive performance of MOEA/D-IWO in solving these complicated multiobjective optimization problems.

For Electric Vehicles (EVs), Weight and losses reduction are important factors not only in reducing the energy consumption and cost but also in increasing autonomy. This paper describes the application of an evolutionary algorithm for multiobjective optimization in the traction chain (TC) of pure EV. In this study, the optimisation algorithm is based on the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA-II) and the fitness function is defined so as to minimize the electric vehicle cost (EVC), the electric vehicle weight (EVW) and the losses in the electric vehicle (EVL). Also, in this study, different requirements are considered as constraints like the efficiency of the permanent magnets engine, the number of conductor in the slots, the winding temperature…The simulation results show the effectiveness of the approach and reduction in EVC, EVW and EVL while ensuring that the electric vehicle performance is not sacrificed.

A distribution generation (DG) multiobjective optimization method based on an improved Pareto evolutionary algorithm is investigated in this paper. The improved Pareto evolutionary algorithm, which introduces a penalty factor in the objective function constraints, uses an adaptive crossover and a mutation operator in the evolutionary process and combines a simulated annealing iterative process. The proposed algorithm is utilized to the optimize DG injection models to maximize DG utilization while minimizing system loss and environmental pollution. A revised IEEE 33-bus system with multiple DG units was used to test the multiobjective optimization algorithm in a distribution power system. The proposed algorithm was implemented and compared with the strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm 2 (SPEA2), a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NGSA-II). The comparison of the results demonstrates the validity and practicality of utilizing DG units in terms of economic dispatch and optimal operation in a distribution power system.

This paper presents potential approaches that increase the energy efficiency of an in-line induction heating system for forging of an automotive crankshaft. Both heat loss reduction and optimization of process parameters are proposed scientifically in order to minimize the energy consumption and the temperature deviation in the workpiece. We applied the numerical multiobjective optimization method in conjunction with the design of experiment (DOE), mathematical approximation with metamodel, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (GA), and engineering data mining. The results show that using the insulating covers reduces heat by an amount equivalent to 9% of the energy stored in the heated workpiece, and approximately 5.8% of the energy can be saved by process parameter optimization.
