This project deals with the development of optimization tools based on evolutionary methods, soft computing and artificial intelligence. The objective is the resolution of hard optimization problems and the development of a computer aided decision support system. Complex systems appear in different contexts, from the economy to the enginery and in most of the cases they combine optimization and simulation. We target two families of hard optimization problems: those based on structured models, and those in which the model is not completely known. In this project we will develop the software OPTSICOM for the optimization of different models within both families with the objective of providing solutions to a wide range of theoretical and applied problems
