Full scale aerodynamic wind tunnel testing, numerical simulation of high dimensional (full-
order) aerodynamic models or flight testing are some of the fundamental but complex steps …

In this article, we present a detailed overview of the literature on the design of computer
experiments. We classify the existing literature broadly into two categories, viz. static and …

Parameter studies are everywhere in computational science. Complex engineering
simulations must run several times with different inputs to effectively study the relationships …

Many multivariate functions in engineering models vary primarily along a few directions in
the space of input parameters. When these directions correspond to coordinate directions …

In many fields, such as environmental risk assessment, agronomic system behavior,
aerospace engineering, and nuclear safety, mathematical models turned into computer code …

Experiments have long been used to study the relationship between a set of inputs to a
physical system and the resulting output. Termed physical experiments in this text, there is a …

In many engineering optimization problems, the number of function evaluations is severely
limited by time or cost. These problems pose a special challenge to the field of global …

The idea for this book came from the time the authors spent at the Statistics and Applied
Mathematical Sciences Institute (SAMSI) in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina …

Nur wenige Methoden haben eine so langfristige Bedeutung für das Arbeitsleben eines
Ingenieurs wie die statistische Versuchsplanung. CAD-Programme ändern sich schnell, so …

For many years all three of us have been interested in, and have tried to make contributions
to, derivative-free optimization. Our motivation for writing this book resulted from various …
