Abstract
Using simulation experiment to find the optimal solution from a (finite) set of solutions is known as optimization via simulation in the simulation literature.  In this talk, we will briefly review various algorithms developed in the past half century. We start from the case when the number of solutions is finite, which is known as ranking-and-selection problems. When the number of solutions is infinite, we will basically introduce the sample average approximation under the random search framework.
