Overview Optimization is a subject that attempts to find best possible solution(s) for a problem. Although optimization is practiced for more than a century, its real application advantage was witnessed during World War II for optimal allocation of resources. Since then, optimization methods have been formalized and non-linear versions have been developed particularly in solving engineering design, control and management problems. Despite all-around development, both academic researchers and practitioners use the word optimization in their activities to indicate a comparative study of a few solutions and to come up with the best solution of them. Optimization methods are potential for improving existing solutions and practices from economic, productivity and environmental considerations, particularly if they were not originally obtained this way. Recent multi-objective optimization methods enable researchers and practitioners to find solutions from a triple bottom-line consideration, thereby achieving a more holistic, pragmatic and meaningful solution than a single-objective optimization method would do. Moreover, recent studies have shown that an analysis of optimal solutions can unveil innovative design principles, thereby providing vital underlying knowledge about a problem that can provide the much-needed leadership to researchers and industries. In this course, starting with basic principles of optimization, methodologies from classical and recent literature and in-depth application studies will be discussed. This course will cover the fundamental aspects as well as state-of-the-art techniques of optimization and is intended towards academic researchers of any disciplines, students, engineers, scientists and managers.
