6. A multi-objective evolutionary approach to simulation-based optimisation of real-world problems
Abstract : This thesis presents a novel evolutionary optimisation algorithm that can improve the quality of solutions in simulation-based optimisation.Simulation-based optimisation is the process of finding optimal parameter settings without explicitly examining each possible configuration of settings.

7. Conceptual design of hydraulic systems for automotive engine applications : simulation, optimisation and testing
Abstract : The main contribution of this thesis lies in the area of systems design, and especially of such systems that involve several engineering domains, so-called multidomain or heterogeneous systems. The design of these systems is concerned with a need for efficient tools, especially in the early conceptual phase of the development process. READ MORE

8. Robust optimisation of structures : Evaluation and incorporation of variations in simulation based design
Abstract : This thesis concerns the robustness of structures considering various uncertainties. The overall objective is to evaluate and develop simulation based design methods in order to find solutions that are optimal both in the sense of handling typical load cases and minimising the variability of the response, i.e. robust optimal designs.

9. Parallel computing in model-based process engineering
Abstract : Chemical processes are usually expensive to run. To optimise a process, we need to know how the process behaves, and this is usually accomplished by studying the process experimentally. However, experiments are very expensive, particularly if an existing plant has to shut down normal operation to conduct an experiment. READ MORE

10. On the Improvement of Healthcare Management Using Simulation and Optimisation
Abstract : This thesis concerns healthcare management and specifically addresses the problems of operating room planning and waiting list management. The operating room department is one of the most expensive areas within the healthcare system which necessitates many expensive resources such as staff, equipment and medicine. READ MORE
