In this paper, an object-oriented unified optimization framework (UOF) for general problem optimization is proposed. Based on evolutionary algorithms, numerical deterministic methods, and C++ objective design, the UOF possesses real-world applications for various optimization problems. The UOF is with interface between defining a general problem and generic solver; hence the two areas are bridged. The UOF's components are categorized into problem and solver parts, and they work independently. Therefore, the reusable high level code allows the adaptation to new problem and solver quickly. Practical applications in microelectronics industry confirm the functionality of the developed unified optimization framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
