Design and classification of dynamic multi-objective optimization   problems
  In this work we provide a formal model for the different time-dependent components that can appear in dynamic multi-objective optimization problems, along with a classification of these components. Four main classes are identified, corresponding to the influence of the parameters, objective functions, previous states of the dynamic system and, last, environment changes, which in turn lead to online optimization problems. For illustration purposes, examples are provided for each class identified - by no means standing as the most representative ones or exhaustive in scope.
