OPTIMAL COMPUTING BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR SIMULATION BASED OPTIMIZATION AND COMPLEX DECISION MAKING
Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (OCBA) considers the problem how to get a best result based on the simulation output under a computing budget constraint. It is not only an efficient ranking and selection procedure for simulation problems with finite candidate solutions but also an attractive …

ON SOLVING MULTI-OBJECTIVE SIMULATION OPTIMIZATION BY OPTIMAL COMPUTING BUDGET ALLOCATION AND RANDOM SEARCH
… objectives, analytical models and closed-form optimal solutions are usually hard to formulate and derive. These issues can be addressed by multi-objective simulation optimization, which employs efficient simulation to evaluate solutions' performance and such information is further used to guide …

Using metaheuristics with the ranking and selection indifference-zone procedure MMY in problems with many objectives
… exploring these spaces and approximating Pareto-optimal solutions, they lack statistical guarantees, making the reliability of their outputs uncertain. In contrast, ranking and selection (R&S) procedures provide statistical guarantees, specifically for the probability of correct selection …

New model-based methods for non-differentiable optimization
… and applies a gradient-based method to find the optimal parameter such that the corresponding distribution has the best capability to generate optimal solution(s) to the original discrete problem. The second algorithm, annealing-GASS, uses Boltzmann distribution as the parameterized probabilistic …

Efficient selection of a set of good enough designs with complexity preference
This thesis briefly reviews the important methods involved in solving the best design selection problem in the discrete-event system simulation. The selection of one or several best designs is a common problem people meet in real situations. The research originally focused on the one best design …

Problems on decision making under uncertainty
… cases; the proposed methods maintain near-optimal solution quality. Even though the applicability of the techniques developed in our work cannot be limited to a few examples, the applications addressed in our work include post-hazard large-scale real-world community recovery management, …
