X.: A cooperative coevolutionary multiobjective algorithm using nondominated sorting

Abstract. The following paper describes a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm which incorporates a novel collaboration formation mechanism. It encourages rewarding of components participating in successful collaborations from each sub-population. The successfulness of the collaboration is measured by a non-dominated sorting procedure. The algorithm has demonstrated it can perform comparably with the NSGA-II on some multiobjective function optimization problems.
