"For military units to be combat ready, they must be proficient in a collective set of tasks trained at various events. This report presents a research tool called the Training Strategies Optimization Prototype (TSOP) that shows potential to aid commanders in making decisions about how to improve strategies and schedules of training. TSOP was developed to determine whether available Army training data are adequate for systematically deriving alternative training strategies to meet commanders' needs. The prototype uses Army battalion level units, but is adaptable to scheduling problems at other echelons within the Army, for other services, and even for joint applications. This report illustrates TSOP's ability to provide the decision maker with an analytical means by which to schedule training events while considering both performance requirements and resource constraints. In many cases, the maximum level of troop proficiency may be attained through more than one combination of training events. TSOP is designed to allow the decision maker to identify the training strategy to attain and sustain troop proficiency within available resources."--DTIC.

Practical optimization problems are often hard to solve, in particular when they are black boxes and no further information about the problem is available except via function evaluations. This work introduces a collection of heuristics and algorithms for black box optimization with evolutionary algorithms in continuous solution spaces. The book gives an introduction to evolution strategies and parameter control. Heuristic extensions are presented that allow optimization in constrained, multimodal and multi-objective solution spaces. An adaptive penalty function is introduced for constrained optimization. Meta-models reduce the number of fitness and constraint function calls in expensive optimization problems. The hybridization of evolution strategies with local search allows fast optimization in solution spaces with many local optima. A selection operator based on reference lines in objective space is introduced to optimize multiple conflictive objectives. Evolutionary search is employed for learning kernel parameters of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator and a swarm-based iterative approach is presented for optimizing latent points in dimensionality reduction problems. Experiments on typical benchmark problems as well as numerous figures and diagrams illustrate the behavior of the introduced concepts and methods.
