Abstract:	Hybrid heuristic optimization methods can discover efficient experiment designs in situations where traditional designs cannot be applied and exchange methods are ineffective. A heuristic hybrid has been developed to take advantage of the exploratory power of the genetic algorithm, while utilizing the local optimum exploitive properties of simulated annealing. The method is demonstrated in cases where multiple optimization criteria are specified, and in irregularly shaped design regions.
