Abstract

The combination of simulation and optimization, essentially unheard of in practice a decade ago, is much more accessible today, thanks in large part to the development of commercial optimization software designed for use with existing simulation packages. Despite this growth, untapped applications abound. This panel, which includes developers of simulation-optimization packages, will discuss this untapped potential, barriers to broader applicability, and approaches for overcoming these barriers. This paper starts off with a brief introduction by the panel's organizer, followed by position statements from the panelists.
