A Revised Simplex Search Procedure for Stochastic Simulation Response Surface Optimization [PDF]
INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2000 We develop a variant of the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search procedure for stochastic simulation optimization that is designed to avoid many of the weaknesses encumbering similar direct-search methods—in particular, excessive sensitivity to starting values, premature termination at a local optimum, lack of robustness against noisy responses, and ...

Virtual reality simulation for the optimization of endovascular procedures: current perspectives
Vascular Health and Risk Management, 2015 Endovascular technologies are rapidly evolving, often requiring coordination and cooperation between clinicians and technicians from diverse specialties. These multidisciplinary interactions lead to challenges that are reflected in the high rate of errors occurring during endovascular procedures. Endovascular virtual reality (VR) simulation has evolved

A Co-simulation Procedure for Optimal Reactive Power Control in Active Distribution Networks
2023 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2023 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe), 2023 Distribution grids are subject to a drastic evolution in their operating conditions due to the high integration of renewable energy resources (RES) and their ability to regulate voltage. To cope with this issue, modern solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are equipped with smart inverters enabled with communication capabilities that allow the coordinated ...
