In practice, this is not an easily attained task. The simulation that we have to run in order to get the objective value can be very time consuming, and can be inaccurate. The authors of this book tackled the difficulty by reformulating the optimization problem. ||From the reviews:||"This book addresses the difficulties of optimization of complex systems via simulation models or computation-intensive models involving possible stochastic effects and discrete choice. The tools described here can be used separately or in
Performance evaluation of increasingly complex human-made systems requires the use of simulation models. However, these systems are difficult to describe and capture by succinct mathematical models. The purpose of this book is to address the difficulties of the optimization of complex systems via simulation models or other computation-intensive models involving possible stochastic effects and discrete choices. This book establishes distinct advantages of the "softer" ...
