The optimization of simulation models by genetic algorithms:a comparative study

This dissertation is a comparative study of simulation optimization methods. We compare a new technique, genetic search, to two old techniques: the pattern search and the response surface methodology search. The pattern search uses the Hooke and Jeeves algorithm and the response surface method se...
