订单信息对双供应商公平偏好的实验研究

为了研究订单信息对双渠道进货供应商公平偏好的影响，本文考察由一个制造商和两个同质供应商组成的双渠道进货供应链，其中供应商按照价格折扣给制造商供货。为了获取更多优惠，制造商将会给一个供应商分配尽可能多的订单，因而引起小订单供应商的不满。这种小订单供应商对公平的偏好可能导致其拒绝供货。通过设计和实施实验室实验，本文对比订单是完全信息和不完全信息两种情境下被试的决策行为倾向。实验结果表明，在两种情境下被试决策都偏离理论预期，公平偏好是造成这一现象的主要因素。供应商在不完全信息下表现出更强的公平偏好。基于实验所观察到的现象，分别建立了完全信息和不完全信息下的行为模型，并通过参数估计考察了它们的有效性。研究结论表明，在双渠道进货时应重点关注小订单供应商的公平偏好，不要故意隐藏订单信息。

Availability allocation and multi-objective optimization for parallel–series systems

Availability allocation is required when the manufacturer is obliged to allocate proper availability to various components in order to design an end product to meet specified requirements. This paper proposes a new multi-objective genetic algorithm, namely simulated annealing based multi-objective genetic algorithm (saMOGA), to resolve the availability allocation and optimization problems of a repairable system, specifically a parallel–series system. Compared with a general multi-objective genetic algorithm, the major feature of the saMOGA is that it can accept a poor solution with a small probability in order to enlarge the searching space and avoid the local optimum. The saMOGA aims to determine the optimal decision variables, i.e. failure rates, repair rates, and the number of components in each subsystem, according to multiple objectives, such as system availability, system cost and system net profit. The proposed saMOGA is compared with three other multi-objective genetic algorithms. Computational results showed that the proposed approach could provide higher solution quality and greater computing efficiency.     

An efficient multi-objective PSO algorithm assisted by Kriging metamodel for expensive black-box problems

The huge computational overhead is the main challenge in the application of community based optimization methods, such as multi-objective particle swarm optimization and multi-objective genetic algorithm, to deal with the multi-objective optimization involving costly simulations. This paper proposes a Kriging metamodel assisted multi-objective particle swarm optimization method to solve this kind of expensively black-box multi-objective optimization problems. On the basis of crowding distance based multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, the new proposed method constructs Kriging metamodel for each expensive objective function adaptively, and then the non-dominated solutions of the metamodels are utilized to guide the update of particle population. To reduce the computational cost, the generalized expected improvements of each particle predicted by metamodels are presented to determine which particles need to perform actual function evaluations. The suggested method is tested on 12 benchmark functions and compared with the original crowding distance based multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II algorithm. The test results show that the application of Kriging metamodel improves the search ability and reduces the number of evaluations. Additionally, the new proposed method is applied to the optimal design of a cycloid gear pump and achieves desirable results.     

Multi-objective optimization method for learning thresholds in a decision-theoretic rough set model

For decision-theoretic rough sets, a key issue is determining the thresholds for the probabilistic rough set model by setting appropriate cost functions. However, it is not easy to obtain correct cost functions because of a lack of prior knowledge and few previous studies have addressed the determination of learning thresholds and cost functions from datasets. In the present study, a multi-objective optimization model is proposed for threshold learning. In our model, we integrate an objective function that minimizes the decision cost with another that decreases the size of the boundary region. The ranges of the thresholds and two types of F_measure are used as constraints. In addition, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is employed to obtain the Pareto optimal set. We used 12 UCI datasets to validate the performance of our method, where the experimental results demonstrated the trade-off between the two objectives as well as showing that the thresholds obtained by our method were more intuitive than those obtained using other methods. The classification abilities of the solutions were improved by the F_measure constraints.

QoS and energy consumption aware service composition and optimal-selection based on Pareto group leader algorithm in cloud manufacturing system

Service composition and optimal selection (SCOS) is one of the key issues for implementing a cloud manufacturing system. Exiting works on SCOS are primarily based on quality of service (QoS) to provide high-quality service for user. Few works have been delivered on providing both high-quality and low-energy consumption service. Therefore, this article studies the problem of SCOS based on QoS and energy consumption (QoS-EnCon). First, the model of multi-objective service composition was established; the evaluation of QoS and energy consumption (EnCon) were investigated, as well as a dimensionless QoS objective function. In order to solve the multi-objective SCOS problem effectively, then a novel globe optimization algorithm, named group leader algorithm (GLA), was introduced. In GLA, the influence of the leaders in social groups is used as an inspiration for the evolutionary technology which is design into group architecture. Then, the mapping from the solution (i.e., a composed service execute path) of SCOS problem to a GLA solution is investigated, and a new multi-objective optimization algorithm (i.e., GLA-Pareto) based on the combination of the idea of Pareto solution and GLA is proposed for addressing the SCOS problem. The key operators for implementing the Pareto-GA are designed. The results of the case study illustrated that compared with enumeration method, genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization, the proposed GLA-Pareto has better performance for addressing the SCOS problem in cloud manufacturing system.     

New mathematical model for the bi-objective inventory routing problem with a step cost function: A multi-objective particle swarm optimization solution approach

Inventory management and satisfactory distribution are among the most important issues considered by distribution companies. One of the key objectives is the simultaneous optimization of the inventory costs and distribution expenses, which can be addressed according to the inventory routing problem (IRP). In this study, we present a new transport cost calculation pattern for the IRP based on some real cases. In this pattern, the transportation cost is calculated as a function of the load carried and the distance traveled by the vehicle based on a step cost function. Furthermore, previous methods usually aggregate the inventory and transportation costs to formulate them as a single objective function, but in non-cooperative real-life cases, the inventory-holding costs are paid by retailers whereas the transportation-related costs are paid by the distributor. In this study, we separate these two cost elements and introduce a bi-objective IRP formulation where the first objective is to minimize the inventory-holding cost and the second is minimizing the transportation cost. We also propose an efficient particle representation and employ a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm to generate the non-dominated solutions for the inventory allocation and vehicle routing decisions. Finally, in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the results obtained were compared with those produced using the augmented ε-constraint method, thereby demonstrating the practical utility of the proposed multi-objective model and the proposed solution algorithm.     

Box-constrained multi-objective optimization: A gradient-like method without “a priori” scalarization

The aim of this paper is the development of an algorithm to find the critical points of a box-constrained multi-objective optimization problem. The proposed algorithm is an interior point method based on suitable directions that play the role of gradient-like directions for the vector objective function. The method does not rely on an “a priori” scalarization and is based on a dynamic system defined by a vector field of descent directions in the considered box. The key tool to define the mentioned vector field is the notion of vector pseudogradient. We prove that the limit points of the solutions of the system satisfy the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) first order necessary condition for the box-constrained multi-objective optimization problem. These results allow us to develop an algorithm to solve box-constrained multi-objective optimization problems. Finally, we consider some test problems where we apply the proposed computational method. The numerical experience shows that the algorithm generates an approximation of the local optimal Pareto front representative of all parts of optimal front.     

An evolutionary artificial immune system for multi-objective optimization

In this paper, an evolutionary artificial immune system for multi-objective optimization which combines the global search ability of evolutionary algorithms and immune learning of artificial immune systems is proposed. A new selection strategy is developed based upon the concept of clonal selection principle to maintain the balance between exploration and exploitation. In order to maintain a diverse repertoire of antibodies, an information-theoretic based density preservation mechanism is also presented. In addition, the performances of various multi-objective evolutionary algorithms as well as the effectiveness of the proposed features are examined based upon seven benchmark problems characterized by different difficulties in local optimality, non-uniformity, discontinuity, non-convexity, high-dimensionality and constraints. The comparative study shows the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which produces solution sets that are highly competitive in terms of convergence, diversity and distribution. Investigations also demonstrate the contribution and robustness of the proposed features.
