The integration of optimization and simulation has become nearly ubiquitous in practice, as most discreteevent simulation packages now include some type of optimization routine. This panel...
SIMULATION OPTIMIZATION USING BALANCED EXPLORATIVE AND EXPLOITATIVE SEARCH (2008)
R. G. Ingalls, M. D. Rossetti, J. S. Smith, B. A. Peters, Andrei A. Prudius, Sigrún Andradóttir
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 exploitation during...

Throughput Maximization for Tandem Lines with Two Stations and Flexible Servers (2005)
Sigrún Andradóttir, Hayriye Ayhan
For a Markovian queueing network with two stations in tandem, finite intermediate bu#er, and M flexible servers, we study how the servers should be assigned dynamically to stations in order to obtain...
