CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS
Applied Simulation and Optimization Vol. 2:
In Logistics and Industrial, and Aeronautical Practice
Springer Handbook
Miguel Mujica, Idalia Flores, and Daniel Guimarans (Eds.)
------------------------------------

Upcoming Deadline: 31st March 2016 - intention to prepare a manuscript
Contact us: m.mujica.mota@hva.nl, idalia@unam.mx, d.guimarans.serrano@hva.nl
Simulation is a well‐known approach that can have different abstraction levels
and can integrate different elements of a studied system. It consists in the
development of a representation of a system (logistics one, manufacturing,
operative, etc.) using modelling formalisms, off‐the‐shelf software programs,
or programming languages. It is commonly used at industrial level to obtain a
better understanding of the studied system. With the use of the model
different experiments may be carried out in order to test different research
questions, such as the performance of new configurations, identify bottlenecks
in the current system, and inefficiencies that are perceived as an increase in
operative costs. Unfortunately, the experiments alone cannot ensure the
optimal configurations for the objective pursued (allocation of resources,
minimizing operative costs, increase throughput etc.). On the other hand,
optimization techniques are very‐well‐accepted techniques which consist in the
representation of the problem under study taking into account only the key
variables, dependencies, and restrictions of a problem. The main argument
against them is that the abstraction process often leaves out of the scope
some key elements that participate and affect the performance of a system,
giving as a result a potential optimal solution that sometimes results
difficult or impossible to implement in the real system.
The book will present techniques, case studies, and methodologies that combine
the use of simulation approaches with optimization techniques for facing
problems in manufacturing, logistics, or aeronautical problems, which aim at
overcoming the shortcomings of both approaches through the combination of
them. The book will present detailed techniques and research studies that cope
with common industrial problems in several fields, which range from
manufacturing to aviation problems, where the common denominator is the
combination of simulation's flexibility with optimization techniques'
robustness.
The benefit to the reader will be a comprehensive guide to tackle similar
problems in industrial environments. The problems presented will serve only as
an example, but methodologies used by the scientific community will be of high
value in order to cope with complex problems.
------------------------------------
Topics of Interest
------------------------------------
+ Supply Chain
+ Manufacturing
+ Transportation
+ Aeronautical Operations (Terminal, Side, Services)
+ Facility Location
+ Routing Problems
+ Simulation‐Optimization Methodologies

We strongly welcome other topic suggestions dealing with convergence of the
two approaches into an integrated methodology beyond the topics suggested
above.
