SUMMARY:Input Uncertainty: Examples and Philosophies - Henderson\, SG (Cor
 nell University)
DTSTART:20110908T083000Z
DTEND:20110908T090000Z
UID:TALK32715@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:I will present two examples that point to the importance of ap
 preciating input uncertainty in simulation modeling. Both examples are set
  in the context of optimization problems where the objective function is e
 stimated (with noise) through discrete-event simulation. I will then discu
 ss some modeling philosophies adopted by the deterministic optimization re
 search community in the context of input uncertainty\, with the goal of id
 entifying some modeling philosophies that might be appropriate for simulat
 ion optimization.\n
