Second International Workshop on 
SURROGATE MODELLING AND SPACE MAPPING 
FOR ENGINEERING OPTIMIZATION

SMSMEO-06

November 9-11, 2006, Technical University of Denmark 

A three-day workshop on surrogate modeling and space mapping will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in November 2006.  The focus is the design optimization of computationally expensive engineering devices and systems through fast, inexpensive surrogate models. 

Workshop themes include:

• Companion models of engineering devices: ideal, coarse and fine. 

• The concept of space mapping for modeling and optimization. 

• Artificial neural network modeling of devices and systems. 

• Engineering optimization through managed surrogates. 

• Development of surrogate models and surrogate approximations. 

• Approximation, interpolation and response surface methodologies. 

• Trust region methodologies for robust algorithms. 

• Issues of model parameter extraction. 

• Practical applications in engineering design problems. 

• Numerical experiments and results. 

• Design with tolerances and yield-driven design.

• Convergence issues.

• Software frameworks.
