Stochastic Simulation Optimization for Discrete Event Systems : Perturbation Analysis, Ordinal Optimization, and Beyond /

"Discrete event systems (DES) have become pervasive in our daily life. Examples include (but are not restricted to) manufacturing and supply chains, transportation, healthcare, call centers, and financial engineering. However, due to their complexities that often involve millions or even billio...
