That is the case, for instance, when scientists try to find a fit between two sets of data, or a set of observations and a given model. Often such situations require that the minimum (or maximum) of a computed difference be found. These situations can be modeled as optimization problems. There exist multiple flavors of optimization problems: constrained and unconstrained (whether we are looking for the minimum - or maximum - of a function over the entire search space or only within the subspace of elements that satisfy some given constraints); local and global (whether we are looking solutions for the minimum within a neighborhood or among the whole search space); continuous, discrete, and mixed (whether the parameters of the problem at hand take their values all in discrete domains, all in continuous domains, or in a mix of these). In this article, we focus on continuous unconstrained global optimization and algorithms to solve such problems. Without loss of generality, we will discuss minimization. There exist many algorithms to address such problems. Most are based on interval computations for they provide a way to conduct a fully covering search in continuous domains where enumeration of alternatives is impossible. In this article, we propose to look at a specific type of algorithm: known as speculation, which consists in betting on which value is going to be the minimum we are looking for. More specifically, we propose to improve our speculative approach using different strategies. We present and discuss the results of a series of experiments comparing the performance of the speculative algorithm with the proposed strategies.","PeriodicalId":208265,"journal":{"name":"2016 Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125259906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulation techniques (e.g., discrete event simulation, system dynamics, and agent-based modeling) are well-equipped to handle complex systems; however, they fail to account for the subjective uncertainties present in many construction systems. Fuzzy logic, on the other hand, is a powerful tool for dealing with subjective uncertainty; therefore, integrating these two techniques is advantageous in modeling construction systems. In this paper, we present an overview of simulation techniques in construction. Then, we introduce the advancements that have been made by incorporating fuzzy logic with simulation techniques, and we propose methodologies for developing fuzzy simulation models. Finally, we discuss the process of choosing a suitable simulation technique for construction modeling. In addition to providing an overview of simulation techniques accessible to the construction domain, the main contribution of this paper is in introducing methods for integrating fuzzy logic with simulation techniques.","PeriodicalId":208265,"journal":{"name":"2016 Annual Conference of the North American Fuzzy Information Processing Society (NAFIPS)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122261428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
