Abstract: This article surveys optimization of simulated systems. The simulation may be either deterministic or random …. The survey reflects the author’s extensive experience with simulation-optimization through Kriging (or Gaussian process …) metamodels. The analysis of these metamodels may use parametric bootstrapping for deterministic simulation or distribution …

We study the problem of cooperative behavior emerging in an environment where individual behaviors and interaction structures coevolve. Players not only learn which strategy to adopt by imitating the strategy of the best-performing player they observe, but also choose with whom they should...

Population aging challenges pay-as-you-go pension systems. Solving the associated funding problem constantly motivates reform processes. In addition to an aging population, specific regulations of the German public pension system lead to an increasing financial burden of national finances. To...

Due to Germany’s specific farm structure, the progressive modulation of direct payments decided within the Health Check of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is of particular relevance for German agriculture. In this paper we apply the agent-based model AgriPoliS to shed some light on the...
