Abstract

This chapter presents a number of illustrative case studies of a wide range of applications of multiobjective optimization methods, in areas ranging from engineering design to medical treatments. The methods used include both conventional mathematical programming and evolutionary optimization, and in one case an integration of the two approaches. Although not a comprehensive review, the case studies provide evidence of the extent of the potential for using classical and modern multiobjective optimization in practice, and opens many opportunities for further research.
