Selecting the best linear simulation metamodel
We consider the output of a simulation model of a system about which little is initially known. This output is often dependent on a large number of factors. It is helpful, in exam...

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...
