Claim One:
1. Apparatus for determining write strategy parameters for recording data on an optical record carrier ( 100 ), comprising: initialization means ( 110 ) for setting initial write strategy parameters, setting means ( 120 ) for setting initial variable levels and an initial experimental plan, based on variations of said initial write strategy parameters, for use in a design of experiments method for optimization of said write strategy parameters, optimization means ( 130 ) for determining optimized write strategy parameters by use of a design of experiments method, and iteration means ( 140 ) for checking if, based on a predetermined criterion, the optimized write strategy parameters determined by the optimization means ( 130 ) shall be further optimized and, in case the write strategy parameters shall be further optimized, for determining new variable levels and a new experimental plan for use in another iteration of the design of experiments method for further optimization of said write strategy parameters.
