“…The EAs are commonly classified as metaheuristic algorithms, which are being employed heavily in various Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) problems of SET. These include building design and energy efficiency (Brownlee and Wright 2015;Delgarm et al 2016), wireless sensory network design (Hacioglu et al 2016;Murugeswari, Radhakrishnan, and Devaraj 2016), manufacturing system design (Azadeh et al 2017;Dahane and Benyoucef 2016), parametric design of production processes (Li et al 2016), software design, and analysis (Malhotra et al 2018;Mkaouer et al 2015), tuning and feature selection of machine learning techniques (Bouraoui, Jamoussi, and Ayed 2018;Geethanjali, Slochanal, and Bhavani 2008) etc.…”
