This programme is awarded on the basis of course work and supervised research on a topic approved by the Board of Graduate Studies in Engineering, culminating in the submission of a thesis.
Many modern industrial and engineering systems are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty. The performance of these systems is heavily affected by volatile external processes, such as prices, demands, environmental conditions, and others. Stochastic modeling helps us to capture the patterns and structures underlying this uncertainty, to analyze it in a rigorous way, and to predict future behaviors. Simulation models enable us to efficiently evaluate these complex systems and make decisions under uncertainty. These include understanding the characteristics of the system and optimizing the design of the system. In practice, however, a single simulation run of a complex model may require a substantial use of computer resources and time. Hence, in the design and optimization of such systems via simulation, advance methods for experimental design and computing budget allocation have to be applied to more effectively use limited resources, and advance single and multiple objective algorithms developed for the optimization of such complex systems.
