The cross-entropy method for continuous multi-extremal optimization

In recent years, the cross-entropy method has been successfully applied to a wide range of discrete optimization tasks. In this paper we consider the cross-entropy method in the context of continuous optimization. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the cross-entropy method for solving difficult continuous multi-extremal optimization problems, including those with non-linear constraints

Scientific base development of computer system modelling organization on the base of net methods

The construction of the methodical, theoretical and program-technical base of the computer system modelling effective organization on the base of net methods is the aim of the paper. As a result new scientific statements of the computer system modelling on the base of net methods have been elaborated, the present ones have been developed and integrated into the united conception. Bases of the engineering solution methodology for the modelling of universal computer systems have been createdAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
