Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO), 2015 COLL-TP-00501

Multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) focuses on optimizing the performances of complex systems that involve multiple interacting disciplines. It may encompasses design synthesis, sensitivity analysis, approximation concepts, optimization methods and strategies, artificial intelligence, and rule-based design - all in the context of integrated design dealing with multiple disciplines and interacting subsystems or systems of systems. Papers of interest include: Optimization Methods and Algorithms, Optimization Framework and Applications, Structural Optimization, Topology/Shape/Size Optimization, Uncertainty and Reliability Methods, etc.
