In this paper we introduce model-based search as a unifying framework accommodating some recently proposed metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization such as ant colony optimiza...

Lean principles require the identification of an ideal system state along with an associated policy to achieve that state. This paper discusses the use of multi-criteria models in...
Developers of distributed systems routinely construct discrete-event simulations to help understand and evaluate the behavior of inter-component protocols. Simulations are abstrac...

We consider the problem of selecting the best system using simulation-based ordinal optimization. This problem has been studied mostly in the context of light-tailed distributions...
