Abstract

This paper describes an optimization module which can be added to the GASP IV software package to provide automated optimization of a set of user defined decision variables. The optimization procedure is a variation of the Hooke-Jeeves pattern search and can be used for decision optimization in discrete, continuous, and combined simulation models. The application of the optimization module is illustrated with two examples.
