CAMEO, objectives

In Europe shell jewellery consisted mostly of conch and helmet cameos, made into brooches, pendants, ear-rings and occasionally bracelets (though these would have been fragile). Mother-of-pearl from nacreous shells was also used, and could be intricately carved and fashioned into the same sort of items. Nacreous shells proved even more versatile than porcellaneous shells, because many of them were almost flat and therefore could be made into objects such as hair ornaments, fans, small boxes, gaming pieces and all sorts of trinkets (Fig. 10.23). 

A short list of such tools is reported in Table 1, where GUI and MOO indicate, respectively, if the software has a Graphical User Interface and if it allows for multi-objective optimization. We also indicate if each tool is open-source and if it allows for customization of the optimization algorithms. We should note that we included in the table only multi-disciplinary optimization tools that are specifically based on CIO methods, while we excluded software based on classic techniques for convex optimization, integer linear/non-linear programming and methods addressing combinatorial optimization only. We also excluded those technical software products that are not devoted specifically to optimization but still may include optimization methods, such as Matlab (which provides the Optimization Toolbox), and other CAD/CAE or multi-physics software, as well as multi-disciplinary tools that provide (as an extra feature) one or more, often domain-specific, optimization techniques (see for instance AVL CAMEO [23]).
