This book aims at illustrating strategies to account for
uncertainty in complex systems described by computer simulations.
When optimizing the performances of these systems, accounting or
neglecting uncertainty may lead to completely different results;
therefore, uncertainty management is a major issues in
simulation-optimization. Because of its wide field of applications,
simulation-optimization issues have been addressed by different
communities with different methods, and from slightly different
perspectives. Alternative approaches have been developed, also
depending on the application context, without any well-established
method clearly outperforming the others. This editorial project
brings together - as chapter contributors - researchers from
different (though interrelated) areas; namely, statistical methods,
experimental design, stochastic programming, global optimization,
metamodeling, and design and analysis of computer simulation
experiments. Editors' goal is to take advantage of such a
multidisciplinary environment, to offer to the readers a much
deeper understanding of the commonalities and differences of the
various approaches to simulation-based optimization, especially in
uncertain environments. Editors aim to offer a bibliographic
reference on the topic, enabling interested readers to learn about
the state-of-the-art in this research area, also accounting for
potential real-world applications to improve also the
state-of-the-practice. Besides researchers and scientists of the
field, the primary audience for the proposed book includes PhD
students, academic teachers, as well as practitioners and
professionals. Each of these categories of potential readers
present adequate channels for marketing actions, e.g. scientific,
academic or professional societies, internet-based communities, and
authors or buyers of related publications.
