Adaptive parameter control is one major issue in the field of evolutionary computation, and several methods have been proposed and applied successfully for single objective optimization problems. In this study we examine whether these results carry over to the multi-objective case and what modifications must be taken to meet the difficulties and pitfalls of conflicting objectives.enUniversität DortmundReihe Computational Intelligence ; 109004report
