Tradeoffs within Representational Behaviors: Multi-Objective Optimization Strategies for Simulated Military Units by Rob Kewley, Chris Argenta, Chris McGoarty

“…We detail extensions in both steps to produce a set of COAs on the Pareto front for multiple practical (e.g., distance), doctrinal (e.g., cover and concealment), and behavioral (e.g., risk-tolerance or aggressiveness) objectives.                         We compare COAs generated using this new approach to results of our previous MCA that uses a more traditional approach of aggregating objectives or preferences into a single weighted utility function and optimizing with respect to that joint utility to find multiple optimal and near-optimal solutions. …”
