The effect of process parameters such as conductivity of wire diameter, wire material type, dielectric fluid, work piece height etc., also be investigated.
Evolutionary algorithms like optimization technique, genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization technique may employed as multi objective optimization techniques to find the better solutions.
Hybridization of some obtainable optimization techniques may be developed and employed like Taguchi and particle swarm, neural network and particle swarm etc.
