APPLIED SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION 2 GEBUNDEN

Building on the author's earlier Applied Simulation and Optimization  this book presents novel
methods for solving problems in industry  based on hybrid simulation-optimization approaches
that combine the advantages of both paradigms. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to
tackling scheduling  routing problems  resource allocations and other issues in industrial
environments  the service industry  production processes  or supply chains and aviation.
Logistics  manufacturing and operational problems can either be modelled using optimization
techniques or approaches based on simulation methodologies. Optimization techniques have the
advantage of performing efficiently when the problems are properly defined  but they are often
developed through rigid representations that do not include or accurately represent the
stochasticity inherent in real systems. Furthermore  important information is lost during the
abstraction process to fit each problem into the optimization technique. On the other hand 
simulation approaches possess high description levels  but the optimization is generally
performed through sampling of all the possible configurations of the system. The methods
explored in this book are of use to researchers and practising engineers in fields ranging from
supply chains to the aviation industry.
