This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...
For systems where exact constitutive relations are unknown, a microscopic level description can be alternatively used. As microscopic simulations are computationally expensive, th...
