“…Lastly, the NSGA-II has been used to effectively solve a variety of complex optimisation problems, including those of the maritime industry. For example, this algorithm has been used to automatically generate general arrangements of complex ships (van Oers and Hopman 2010), perform aggregate production planning in shipbuilding (Liu, Chua, and Yeoh 2011), develop a decision support system for bulk material handling ports (Pratap, Nayak et al 2015), schedule joint production and maintenance (Berrichi et al 2010), solve the generation expansion planning problem (Murugan, Kannan, and Baskar 2009) and for hydro-thermal power scheduling (Deb and Karthik 2007).…”
