==Original Abstract Submitted==

Conventional simulation-based optimization, even when automated, requires substantial user-involved development time. Accordingly, embodiments are disclosed to automate various aspects of simulation-based optimization. In particular, an optimization configurator and associated data structures are disclosed for generating and running optimization templates that can be easily constructed (e.g., via lists of available components), revised, evaluated, and re-run as needed. The optimization templates may comprise a plurality of optimization configurations that each define and pair an optimization algorithm with a simulator of a real-world system. Embodiments can reduce development time, are applicable to various domains, can be used by novice users without specialized knowledge, and can improve the overall quality of optimization for the operations of real-world systems, such as supply chains.
