Computation of the objective function from the simulation results.
Computation of the objective function from the simulation results. This involves (1) extracting and checking input parameters, (2) executing the simulation model and (3) performing cost analysis.

"SoPT: Ontology for Simulation Optimization for Scientific Experiments"
The
ERoomOpt
object performs Simulation Optimization (SO) on an Emergency Room (ER) model to find the numbers of nurses and doctors that mimimize the overall cost function. Cost is based on the daily pay for a nurse (8 hours * 30 dollars per hour), a doctor (8 hours * 60 dollars per hour) and a cost based on customer wait time (10 dollars per minute of mean waiting time).
