Framework description
The new version of OptFlux's Strain Optimization plug-in includes all the previous single objective (SO) optimization methods, seamlessly integrated with the new multi-objective (MO) architecture.
The Archive Manager
To allow the fairer comparison of the algorithms, some changes were ap- plied to the EA and SA algorithms, regarding the information that is kept during each run, although not changing their functioning nor the best final solution. The major change was the implementation of an archive that keeps the best solutions found by the EA and SA during the run. This is not used by the algorithms for selection or for creating new solutions, but allows hav- ing a richer final result. The archive has a maximum size, being managed using the same methods provided in SPEA2, including methods for selecting solutions for removal when the maximum size is reached.
