An efficient “Simulation Optimization” technique is developed to solve system design problems which can not be expressed in explicit analytical or mathematical models. In part...
Simulation optimization can be defined as the process of finding the best input variable values from among all possibilities without explicitly evaluating each possibility. The ob...
Simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners. Simulation optimization is the practice of linking an optimization method with a simula...
This paper deals with the problem of determining the optimal inspection strategy for a multi-stage production process using simulation optimization. An optimal inspection strategy...

We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
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 ...
