Table 1: The levels of parameters for 2‘ factorial design  The optimal values of parameters are determined by Design of Experiment (DOE) using 2* factorial design. The parameters are comprised of the population size, the crossover rate, the number of generations, the number of tours and the number of leader birds. There are 4 replications for each experiment plan. The response variable of this DOE is the IGD since the convergence and diversity metric are the major performances of this problem. The total runs of experiment plan for NSGA-II equals to 32 (2x2x2x4) while total runs of experiment for MBNSGA-II is 128 (2%2x2x2x2%4). Then, the levels of these parameters are shown Table 1. The optimal parameters for both algorithms obtained from the response optimizer are presented in Table 2.
