  • Patent number: 10546249
    Abstract: A method of selecting a group from a plurality of multi objective designs which comply with a plurality of objectives. The method comprises providing a plurality of multi objective designs, each the multi objective design having a plurality of multi objective design objective values which comply with at least one constraint of a Pareto Frontier of an objective space of a plurality of objectives, selecting a group from the plurality of multi objective designs, each member of the group is selected according to a match between at least one objective of respective the plurality of objectives and at least one of a respective gain threshold and a respective loss threshold, and outputting the group.

  • Patent number: 9524466
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and product for automated multi-objective solution selection. The method comprises obtaining a set of solutions to a multi-objective problem, wherein each solution is a non-dominated solution. The method further comprises computing outranking weights for each pair of solutions and selecting a subset of the set of solutions based upon a defensive criteria in with respect to the outranking weights, wherein the defensive criteria relates to a number of solutions that outrank the subset. The method further comprises outputting the subset of the set of solutions.

  • Publication number: 20150019173
    Abstract: A computerized method of providing a multiobjective optimal design through user interactive navigation, comprising: 1) Designating a user reference design which defines multiple objectives in a design space. 2) Exploring the design space to identify a multiobjective optimal design, evolved from the reference design, through multiple navigation iterations. During each iteration the user is interacted to reach an intermediate candidate design which is closer to a Pareto frontier. Each iteration comprising: (a) Identifying and presenting the user, optimal designs which are closer to the Pareto frontier and are within a pre-defined evolution distance from an intermediate design of previous iteration, improving one or more of the objectives. (b) Selecting a preferred design from those candidate designs, according to user instructions, the preferred design is used as the starting point for the next iteration.
