an approach for simulation based structure optimisation of discrete event systems
Modelling and simulation with integrated parameter optimisation is a well established technique. This paper introduces an extended, simulation based optimisation method. Behind automatic parameter value variation the method is able to re-configure model structure during optimisation. This is achieved through a combination of optimisation, simulation and model management methods. Using this approach simulation is used to establish the performance of a current model structure and parameter value set and the optimiser searches for an optimal solution with repeated model structure and model parameter value changes assisted by the model management methods.
