The paper titled “A Pareto-based Participle Swan Optimization for
Multi-objective Job Shop Scheduling Problems”, which was co-authored
with her advisor, Prof. Voratas Kachitvichyanukul of AIT’s School of
Engineering and Technology (SET), was presented at the conference which
concluded on 1 March 2011. Ms. Warisa, who was one among the five
recipients of the award, was the only student from Thailand to win the
award.
Ms. Warisa, who is a doctoral student at Industrial and Manufacturing
Engineering (IME) field of study, says that the paper focuses on
achieving optimization while faced with multiple objectives. “Pareto
Swan Optimization is used to arrive at a set of solutions when faced
with multiple objectives,” she explains. This helps at reaching a
solution which is optimal when faced with two or more goals.
At the same conference, another IME alumnus, Dr. Rapeepan Pitakaso,
also won a prize for young researchers. His paper was titled “A
combination of a simple sweep heuristic and exact method to solve
vehicle routing problem under uncertainty of demand and service time
interval.”
