Abstract: We implement multiobjective evolutionary algorithms for the optimization of micro-fluidic devices. In this work we discuss the development of multimembered evolution strategies with step size adaptation in conjunction with the Strength Pareto Approach. In order to support targeting, an extension of the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm is proposed. The results suggest a novel design for micro-fluidic devices used for DNA sequencing.
