Since natural computing methods have been applied with great success in several application areas, a review concerning potential benefits and pitfalls for simulation studies is merited. The brief presents such an overview and combines it with an introduction to natural computing and selected major approaches, as well as with a concise treatment of general simulation-based optimization. As such, it is the first review which covers both the methodological background and recent application cases. The brief is intended to serve two purposes: First, it can be used to gain more information concerning natural computing, its major dialects, and their usage for simulation studies. It also covers the areas of multi-objective optimization and neuroevolution. While the latter is only seldom mentioned in connection with simulation studies, it is a powerful potential technique. Second, the reader is provided with an overview of several areas of simulation-based optimization which range from logistic problems to engineering tasks. Additionally, the brief focuses on the usage of surrogate and meta-models. The brief presents recent application examples. 000922386 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 27, 2019). 000922386 650_0 $$aNatural computation. 000922386 650_0 $$aComputer simulation. 000922386 650_0 $$aProgram transformation (Computer programming) 000922386 7001_ $$aLeopold, Nadiia,$$eauthor. 000922386 7001_ $$aUhlig, Tobias,$$eauthor. 000922386 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in operations research. 000922386 852__ $$bebk 000922386 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-26215-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000922386 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:922386$$pGLOBAL_SET 000922386 980__ $$aEBOOK 000922386 980__ $$aBIB 000922386 982__ $$aEbook 000922386 983__ $$aOnline 000922386 994__ $$a92$$bISE
