The design optimization paradigm provides us with a rational synthesis means for the engineering design of products, machines, etc. The essential outcome from computational design optimization is that it can generate the best solution under mathematical representation and procedures, if an original design problem is appropriately translated into a formal style. The outcome is more effective if the original design problem is complicated, since human expertise cannot precisely manipulate such content. This situation is obvious when design concerns shift from component-level to system-level optimality (e.g., Papalambros and Wilde, 2000).
