COMSomFC

COMSomFC is a proposed framework for analyzing and understanding complex multi-objective optimization problems. The acronym stands for Complexity, Optimization, and Solution, followed by a description of the Focus of Concern. This framework aims to provide a structured approach to tackling problems where multiple, often conflicting, objectives need to be simultaneously optimized. It emphasizes understanding the inherent complexity of the problem space, the characteristics of the optimization landscape, and the properties of the non-dominated solutions that constitute the Pareto front. The "Focus of Concern" aspect highlights the need to tailor the analysis to the specific context and requirements of the problem at hand. COMSomFC suggests a multi-stage process, beginning with a thorough problem definition and analysis of objective interactions, followed by the selection of appropriate optimization algorithms, and concluding with a detailed examination of the resulting trade-off surfaces. The framework is intended to guide researchers and practitioners in developing more effective and insightful solutions for real-world multi-objective optimization challenges across various domains, including engineering, economics, and environmental science. Its ultimate goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the trade-offs involved and to facilitate informed decision-making when faced with multiple competing goals.
