Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data storage or network resources across dynamic and geographicall...
We consider a new simulation-based optimization method called the Nested Partitions (NP) method. This method generates a Markov chain and solving the optimization problem is equiv...
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 ...
We propose "low cost response surface methods" (LCRSM) that typically require half the experimental runs of standard response surface methods based on central composite ...
We consider how simulation metamodels can be used to optimize the performance of a system that depends on a number of factors. We focus on the situation where the number of simula...
