Complex systems in
economic, engineering and natural sciences involve the solving of many
optimisation problems. Many of the present approaches consider operations
research optimisation models. Analytically tractable models are impractical
in change settings due to their limitations in modelling important details
and features of real world complex systems. Simulation models, on the other
hand, provide the flexibility to accommodate arbitrary stochastic elements,
and generally allow modelling of all the complexities and dynamics of real
world applications without undue simplifying assumptions. However,
simulation itself is not an optimisation approach. Thus, in this track
methods and approaches of simulation and of the solution of optimisation
problems shall be linked to solve optimisation problems faster or make their
solutions better usable (under realistic conditions).
Topics
should be
-
Applications of operations research
optimisation on business processes in general as well as applications in
economic, engineering and natural sciences.
-
Analysis and modelling of complex systems.
-
Optimisation procedures and optimisation
potentials of complex systems.
-
Combinatorial optimisation and integer
programming tools to handle complex systems
-
Procedures of discrete event and continuous
time simulation.
-
(Simulation-based) heuristic and algorithmic
procedures for efficiently solving complex problems.
-
Optimisation Models for production planning
and control, for operations and business processes, for technological devices,
for logistics and so on.
-
Simulation Optimisation methods.
-
Simulation-based hybrid optimisation
techniques.
-
Utilisation of simulation to make
optimisation problems and their (feasible) solutions usable under
industrial conditions.
-
Proper handling of uncertainty and the
attainment of robust solutions.
-
Methods of calibration, validation and
verification of models (under realistic conditions).
-
Tools for simulation and optimisation: their
more effective design for operating under realistic conditions,
especially concerning shorter runtimes, as well as their architecture.
Simulation in the areas of
production planning and control, logistics, transportation, supply chain
management, and processes
Simulation and optimisation
models with consideration of sustainable aspects (including the
economical, ecological and social dimension)
