... are viewed as random variables and their entropy leads to a simple metric that accurately predicts stability. The stable/unstable spaces are found by investigating the overall design space using an array of grid points of suitable spacing. The length of the time span needed to capture the nature...

.... To this end, the presented model needs to be extended to support partial reduction of entropy per node visit. This paper presents a preliminary method for monitoring the state of uncertainty in a design problem through the design process. Although fast reduction of uncertainty by itself cannot be regarded...

...Ali Farhang-Mehr, Post-Doctoral Research Associate; Shapour Azarm, Professor An entropy-based metric is presented that can be used for assessing the quality of a solution set as obtained from multi-objective optimization techniques. This metric quantifies the “goodness” of a set of solutions...
