This $211,135 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports research to expand and improve the use of stochastic simulation models for optimal decision-making under uncertainty. The award, with a performance period from July 2024 to June 2027, will enhance the SIMOPT testbed of simulation optimization problems and solvers, making it more powerful, widely applicable, and aligned with emerging data-driven applications. The improved SIMOPT library will foster more rigorous and reproducible experimentation in simulation optimization, accelerating advances in solver development and testing. The work will also create new data-centered capabilities in SIMOPT to enable the study of trace-driven simulation and empirical risk minimization. These enhancements to the SIMOPT cyberinfrastructure are expected to lead to enhanced use of simulation optimization engines in practical applications and facilitate intellectual bridges to related research communities.
