Simulation-based optimisation of public transport networks
… stakeholders like passengers and operators. Simulation-based Optimisation (SBO) is a discipline that solves optimisation problems by combining simulation and optimisation models. The former is used to evaluate the alternative solutions, while the latter searches for the optimal solution among …

A real-time simulation-based optimisation environment for industrial scheduling
… Particularly, it proposes a new, web services-based, industrial scheduling system framework, called OPTIMISE Scheduling System (OSS), for solving real-world complex scheduling problems. OSS, as implemented on top of a generic web services-based simulation-based optimisation (SBO) platform …

A multi-objective evolutionary approach to simulation-based optimisation of real-world problems.
This thesis presents a novel evolutionary optimisation algorithm that can improve the quality of solutions in simulation-based optimisation. Simulation-based optimisation is the process of finding optimal parameter settings without explicitly examining each possible configuration of settings. An …

Generation and optimisation of real-world static and dynamic location-allocation problems with application to the telecommunications industry.
… uncertainties fall in the domain of dynamic optimisation problems, where new facilities are located every time the environment changes. However, considering the substantial cost associated with locating a new facility, it becomes infeasible to locate facilities each time the environment …

Simulation Optiisation and Markov Models for Dynamic Ambulance Redeployment
… investigation, we study optimal move-up policies based on three small-scale Markov models to gain insights. The first Markov model considers one ambulance and aims to maximise the benefit of move-up for just the next call. The second Markov model still considers one ambulance, but aims to maximise …

On-site installation flexibility for disruption management in modular off-site construction systems
… of organisational functions. A Discrete Event Simulation model developed and applied to a case study showed that on-site installation flexibility can reduce installation delay and storage requirements. Furthermore, combining more than one type of on-site installation flexibility can …
