Description We have identified improved approaches for performing optimisation searches on black-box problems (e.g. simulation models) which are expensive to run (thereby limiting the number of models runs that can be undertaken), under uncertainty. Here implementation undertainty only is considered, in a robust - as opposed to a stochastic - setting.
Exploitation Route Robust optimisation on expensive to run black-box problems is both a difficult undertaking and one that has not been widely considered, therefore the development of improving metaheuristics should be seen as an ongoing process.
