Title: Automatic Design of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Solving Real World
Application Problems
Abstract: This talk will introduce the automatic design of metaheuristic
algorithms for solving real world application problems. First, a real world
application problem, i.e., power system restoration problem, will be used as
an example for illustration. The power system restoration problem will be
represented as an optimization problem, which usually is difficult to solve
mathematically. Second, the reasons for the necessity of utilizing
metaheuristic algorithms to solve these optimization problems and the
difficulty of selecting a suitable existing metaheuristic algorithm and
tuning of its corresponding parameters will be discussed, which leads to the
necessity of automatic design of the metaheuristic algorithm for solving the
power system restoration problem. Third, the automatic design method will be
introduced in detail, followed by experimental results on some benchmark
problems to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed
design method.
