Abstract:
|
The tutorial explores and describes the integration of evolutionary search, exploration and optimization across a wide spectrum of design activities and thus investigates the manner in which evolutionary computation can be utilized to generate design concepts and achieve meaningful designs in addition to more standard evolutionary optimization processes. The support of innovation and creativity during preliminary design and novel EC strategies and problem representations that best handle design complexity and support people-centred aspects are also presented. The tutorial includes the following aspects: i) The integration of both deterministic design approaches and computational intelligence techniques with evolutionary design environments ii) The extraction and processing of evolutionary design data and its visualization within appropriate designer interfaces. iii) Human-centred aspects and interactive evolutionary design systems. iv) Evolutionary search and exploration across uncertain / poorly- defined design environments v) Supporting innovative and creative design vi) Development and integration of subjective fitness measures vii) Qualitative and quantitative multi-objective design satisfaction
