Abstract

We try to find the best configuration of a stochastic dis- crete-event simulation model when multiple criteria are simultaneously involved in the decision making process. We develop and investigate the performance of a genetic algorithm that makes use of an interval-based variant of the Prométhée MCDM-method to calculate the fitness of the chromosomes. We illustrate the performance of this algo- rithm by applying it for the optimization of a simulation model for incident management in a call centre.
