A qualitative framework for selection of optimization algorithm for multi-objective trade-off problem in construction projects

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a qualitative framework for the selection of the most appropriate optimization algorithm for the multi-objective trade-off problem (MOTP) in construction projects based on the predefined performance parameters. Design/methodology/approach A total of 6 optimization algorithms and 13 performance parameters were identified through literature review. The experts were asked to indicate their preferences...
