A combined procedure for optimization via simulation

Proceedings of the Winter Simulation Conference, 2003
We propose an optimization-via-simulation algorithm for use when the performance measure is estimated via a stochastic, discrete-event simulation, and the decision variables may be subject to deterministic linear integer constraints. Our approach---which consists of a global guidance system, a selection-of-the-best procedure, and local improvement---is

Optimization Procedure for Pulse-Simulated Response

Journal of the Structural Division, 1981
A computationally efficient technique is presented for optimizing the selection of pulse train characteristics, to be used for simulating the response of general types of structural systems to arbitrary dynamic environments. The optimization procedure uses an adaptive random search algorithm that incorporates a periodic exploratory search for the ...

A survey of simulation optimization techniques and procedures

2000 Winter Simulation Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37165), 2002
Discrete event simulation optimization is a problem of significant interest to practitioners interested in extracting useful information about an actual (or yet to be designed) system that can be modeled using discrete event simulation. This paper presents a brief survey of the literature on discrete event simulation optimization over the past decade ...

Selection-of-the-best procedures for optimization via simulation

Proceeding of the 2001 Winter Simulation Conference (Cat. No.01CH37304), 2002
We propose fully sequential indifference-zone selection procedures that are specifically for use within an optimization-via-simulation algorithm when simulation is costly and partial or complete information on solutions previously visited is maintained.

Efficient optimization procedures for stochastic simulation systems

2005 International Conference on Machine Learning and Cybernetics, 2005
In the research presented, we applied the particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to optimize a concrete delivery operations simulation model (named HKCONSIM), aimed at improving the overall operational efficiency by minimizing the nonproductive time incurred on multiple building sites.

Simulation and parameter optimization of the key working procedure of engine box

2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), 2014
The engine box and the bearing cover have high concentricity requirements. In response to this, cutting parameter optimization of the main bearing bore boring process is presented. Combined with the processing requirements and processing characteristics of the main bearing bore boring process, the three-dimensional finite element model was established ...

Learning and optimizing arthroscopic knot-tying by surgery residents using procedural simulation

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2021
Procedural training of orthopedic surgery residents includes learning arthroscopic knot-tying. The models used comprise arthroscopy training modules of increasing complexity, although there is no procedural training guide for the acquisition of arthroscopic knot-tying skills. Few studies have focused on how residents learn arthroscopic knot-tying.
