In the surrogate approach to simulation-based optimization, the large-scale simulation is evoked only to construct and validate a simpliÿed input-output model; this simpliÿed input-output model then serves as a simulation surrogate in subsequent engineering optimization studies. We present here 'basic' and Pareto surrogate formulations through an illustrative application from uid dynamics.The critical ingredient of both formulations is a non-parametric statistical validation and error estimation procedure which, based on veriÿable hypotheses, precisely quantiÿes the e ect of surrogate-for-simulation substitution on system predictability, stability, and optimality. The Pareto formulation improves upon the basic approach by operating only in the vicinity of the e cient frontier of the output achievable set A; for problems with many inputs and few outputs, this considerably reduces the dimensionality of the problem, and correspondingly improves the surrogate error estimates. ? 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
