This book contains state-of-the-art contributions in the field of evolutionary and
deterministic methods for design optimization and control in engineering and
sciences.Specialists have written each of the 34 chapters as extended versions of selected
papers presented at the International Conference on Evolutionary and Deterministic Methods for
Design Optimization and Control with Applications to Industrial and Societal Problems (EUROGEN
2013). The conference was one of the Thematic Conferences of the European Community on
Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS).Topics treated in the various chapters are
classified in the following sections: theoretical and numerical methods and tools for
optimization (theoretical methods and tools numerical methods and tools) and engineering
design and societal applications (turbo machinery structures materials and civil engineering
aeronautics and astronautics societal applications electrical and electronics applications)
focused particularly on intelligent systems for multidisciplinary design optimization (mdo)
problems based on multi-hybridized software adjoint-based and one-shot methods uncertainty
quantification and optimization multidisciplinary design optimization applications of game
theory to industrial optimization problems applications in structural and civil engineering
optimum design and surrogate models based optimization methods in aerodynamic design.
