Abstract

In this paper, the problem of the determination of Pareto optimal solutions for certain large-scale systems with multiple conflicting objectives is considered. As a consequence, a two-level hierarchical method is proposed, where the global problem is decomposed into smaller multiobjective problems (lower level) which are coordinated by an upper level that has to take into account the relative importance assigned to each subsystem. The scheme that has been developed is an iterative one, so that a continuous information exchange is carried out between both levels in order to obtain efficient solutions for the initial global problem. The practical implementation of the developed scheme allows us to prove its efficiency in terms of processing time.
