	abstract = {In Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE), users typically select a set of Multi-Objective Search Algorithms (MOSAs) for their experiments without any justification, or they simply choose an MOSA because of its popularity (e.g., NSGA-II). On the other hand, users know certain characteristics of solutions they are interested in. Such characteristics are typically measured with Quality Indicators (QIs) that are commonly used to evaluate the quality of solutions produced by an MOSA. Consequently, these QIs are often employed to empirically evaluate a set of MOSAs for a particular search problem to find the best MOSA. Thus, to guide SBSE users in choosing an MOSA that represents the solutions measured by a specific QI they are interested in, we present an empirical evaluation with a set of SBSE problems to study the relationships among commonly used QIs and MOSAs in SBSE. Our aim, by studying such relationships, is to identify whether there are certain characteristics of a QI because of which it prefers a certain MOSA. Such preferences are then used to provide insights and suggestions to SBSE users in selecting an MOSA, given that they know which quality aspects of solutions they are looking for.},
