Abstract:
|
In this roundtable, the term computer experiments is used to describe input-response applications that use a deterministic simulator as an experimental platform for studying a target physical system, e.g., in engineering, technology, biology. Ideally the physical system is also available for generating input-responses. The choice of simulator inputs and/or physical system control variables, the “design” of the computer experiment, is used to increase the amount of information that each run of experimental platform provides. Among many other objectives, a researcher may wish to screen simulator inputs as being active or inert, to optimize the physical system, or to find “robust” choices for the input settings. This roundtable will focus on the sharing of motivating design problems in participant applications as well as group suggestions for practical solutions (and theoretically optimum ones) to the proposed problems. Among the innovative areas that we expect discuss include design for black-box and gray-box codes,
