Optimization and nondeterministic analysis with large simulation models: issues and directions

摘要

Economic and political demands are driving computational investigation of systems and processes like never before.It is foreseen that questions of safety,optimality,risk robustness,likelihood,credability,etc.will incresingly be posed to computational modelers.T^his will require the development and routine use of computing infrastructure that incorporates computational physics models within the framework of larger "meta-analyses" involving aspects of optimization,nondeterministic analysis,and probabilistic risk assessment.
