About this title

Synopsis:

This book introduces the reader to the evolving area of simulation-based optimization, also known as simulation optimization. The book should serve as an accessible introduction to this topic and requires a background only in elementary mathematics. It brings the reader up to date on cutting-edge advances in simulation-optimization methodologies, including dynamic controls, also called Reinforcement Learning (RL) or Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP), and static optimization techniques, e.g.,Simultaneous Perturbation, Nested Partitions, Backtracking...
