The idea of using a simpler surrogate to represent a complex phenomenon has gained
increasing popularity over past three decades. Due to their ability to exploit the black-box …

In simulation-based realization of complex systems, we are forced to address the issue of
computational complexity. One critical issue that must be addressed is the approximation of …

The use of statistical techniques to build approximations of expensive computer analysis
codes pervades much of today's engineering design. These statistical approximations, or …

Despite advances in computer capacity, the enormous computational cost of running
complex engineering simulations makes it impractical to rely exclusively on simulation for …

This paper reviews the state-of-the-art in robust design optimization–the search for designs
and solutions which are immune with respect to production tolerances, parameter drifts …

In this paper we focus on scale-based product families derived from scalable product
platforms that can be exploited from both a functional and a manufacturing standpoint to …

Surrogate models are commonly used to replace expensive simulations of engineering
problems. Frequently, a single surrogate is chosen based on past experience. This …

Many simulation practitioners can get more from their analyses by using the statistical theory
on design of experiments (DOE) developed specifically for exploring computer models. We …
