Conference paper
Response surface methodology and its application in simulation
Abstract
The contents of this paper reflect a portion of the conference tutorial on the application of response surface methodology to simulation. In this paper we will present an outline of the methodology and give a simple example of its application to a two variable optimization problem. In the tutorial itself we will discuss the methodology in greater detail and discuss an additional application to a six variable optimization problem. The examples are taken from the simulation of a semiconductor manufacturing line.
