. Incorporation of this simulation model within an optimization-based management model is very complex and difficult. However, as an … alternative, it is possible to link a simulation model externally with an optimization-based management model. The GA …-based optimization approach is especially suitable for externally linking the numerical simulation model within the optimization model …
