Multi-objective Optimization

Multi-objective Optimization (OPMO) team belongs to the laboratory of parallel and embedded architectures, and high performance computing (LAPECI) founded in April 2013. The team's research field is solving multi-objective optimization problems. These problems occur in various fields such as telecommunications, biology, physics, chemistry, finance, embedded systems, etc. The main research theme is to provide efficient and effective optimization methods that use hybridization techniques and parallelism to solve large scale multi-objective optimization problems.
