Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering Seminar"Optimization Models for Simulation"W. K. Victor ChanAssistant Professor, Department of Decision Sciences & Engineering Systems, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NYABSTRACT: The first part of the talk presents a methodology for modeling discrete-event simulation as optimization problems. This method allows one to combine techniques in simulation and optimization in designing and/or analyzing stochastic systems. Applications of this methodology in queueing theory, manufacturing, and perturbation analysis will be discussed.The second part of the talk gives an overview of other on-going research conducting by the presenter and his collaborators. These include agent-based simulation for electricity markets, evolutionary models for online social networks, decentralized algorithms and agent-based models for biological systems, optimal scheduling for semi-conductor manufacturing, and meta-modeling of service systems.WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2008, GERONTOLOGY BUILDING (GER) ROOM 309, 2:00–3:00 PM
