Multi-Objective Discrete-Event Simulation

Multi-Objective Discrete-Event Simulation (MO-DES) couples a discrete-event simulation engine with multi-objective optimization to explore trade-offs among two or more conflicting performance measures — such as throughput, cost, and waiting time — across stochastic, time-ordered process models. It is widely applied in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and service system design.
