Simulation optimization: methods and applications
Open accessAbstract
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 objective of simulation optimization is to minimize the resources spent while maximizing the information obtained in a simulation experiment.The purpose of this paper is to review the area of simulation optimization.A critical review of the methods employed and applications developed in this relatively new area are presented and notable successes are highlighted.Simulation optimization software tools are discussed.The intended audience is simulation practitioners and theoreticians as well as beginners in the field of simulation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
