Performance measures for dynamic multi-objective optimisation algorithms

• We provide a comprehensive overview of MOO performance measures.
• These measures are adapted and used for dynamic MOO.
• We provide a comprehensive overview of performance measures used so far for DMOO.
• We highlight issues with performance measures currently used for DMOO.

When algorithms solve dynamic multi-objective optimisation problems (DMOOPs), performance measures are required to quantify the performance of the algorithm and to compare one algorithm’s performance against that of other algorithms. However, for dynamic multi-objective optimisation (DMOO) there are no standard performance measures. This article provides an overview of the performance measures that have been used so far. In addition, issues with performance measures that are currently being used in the DMOO literature are highlighted.
