A Survey of Evolutionary Continuous Dynamic Optimization Over Two Decades—Part B
本文是两篇综述的第二部分，深入回顾了单目标无约束连续动态优化问题的常用基准问题、性能分析方法、静态优化方法及实际应用，并提出了新的基准问题分类法。
This article presents the second Part of a two-Part survey that reviews evolutionary dynamic optimization (EDO) for single-objective unconstrained continuous problems over the last two decades. While in the first part, we reviewed the components of dynamic optimization algorithms (DOAs); in this part, we present an in-depth review of the most commonly used benchmark problems, performance analysis methods, static optimization methods used in the framework of DOAs, and real-world applications. Compared to the previous works, this article provides a new taxonomy for the benchmark problems used in the field based on their baseline functions and dynamics. In addition, this survey classifies the commonly used performance indicators into fitness/error-based and efficiency-based ones. Different types of plots used in the literature for analyzing the performance and behavior of algorithms are also reviewed. Furthermore, the static optimization algorithms that are modified and utilized in the framework of DOAs as the optimization components are covered. We then comprehensively review some real-world dynamic problems that are optimized by EDO methods. Finally, some challenges and opportunities are pointed out for future directions.
