Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...

Hybrid optimization using DIRECT, GA, and SQP for global exploration
— As there are many good optimization algorithms each with its own characteristics, it is very difficult to choose the best method for optimization problems. Thus, it is importa...

Simulation Optimization Using Balanced Explorative and Exploitative Search
We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...

Efficient Dynamic Local Enumeration for HPF
In translating HPF programs, a compiler has to generate local iteration and communication sets. Apart from local enumeration, local storage compression is an issue, because in HPF ...

Integer Programming: Optimization and Evaluation Are Equivalent
Abstract We show that if one can find the optimal value of an integer programming problem min{cx : Ax ≥ b, x ∈ Zn +} in polynomial time, then one can find an optimal solution...
