The improved sweep metaheuristic for simulation optimization and application to job shop scheduling
We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...

Stochastic trust region gradient-free method (strong): a new response-surface-based algorithm in simulation optimization
Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a metamodelbased optimization method. Its strategy is to explore small subregions of the parameter space in succession instead of attempting ...
