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

SMSMEO-2012

August 9-11, 2012, Reykjavik University, Iceland  

A three-day workshop on surrogate modeling and space mapping for engineering optimization will be held at Reykjavik University, August 9-11, 2012. The focus will be on techniques and practical applications suited to physically-based design optimization of computationally expensive engineering devices and systems through fast, inexpensive surrogate models, as well as space mapping technology.  

Workshop themes include:

  • Companion models of engineering devices: ideal, coarse and fine
  • The concept of space mapping for modeling and optimization
  • Space mapping and response correction techniques
  • Surrogate-based modeling and optimization   
  • Optimization methods for CPU-intensive engineering problems
  • Multi-fidelity analysis and optimization
  • Function-approximation-based and physics-based surrogate models
  • Approximation, interpolation and response surface methodologies
  • Engineering optimization through managed surrogates
  • Development of surrogate models and surrogate approximations
  • Approximation, interpolation and response surface methodologies
  • Artificial neural network modeling of devices and systems
  • Simulation-driven design
  • Adjoint sensitivities in simulation-driven design
  • Multidisciplinary design and optimization
  • Knowledge-based methods
  • Design with tolerances and yield-driven design
  • Trust region methodologies for robust algorithms
  • Issues of model parameter extraction
  • Convergence issues
  • Software architectures for optimization-oriented design
  • Software frameworks
  • Application case studies
