Optimisation problems encuuntered in complex systems (e.g. manufacturing systems, energy systems, transportation systems and earth observation systems) are usually characterised by non-differentiable or discontinuous solution space, solution space increasing exponentially with problem size, the NP-Hard property, various complicated equality and inequality constraints, multi-modal, mixing variables, multiple optimisation objectives, uncertainties, and being without explicit problem expressions. Traditional mathematical programming methods are no longer completely efficient in resolving such optimisation problems in complex systems.

In contrast, intelligent simulation optimisation algorithms (ISOAs) appear to be competitive alternatives. During recent decades, research on intelligent simulation optimisation has progressed noticeably and gained fruitful rewards. Some classical and powerful ISOAs have been proposed and extensively investigated, including genetic algorithms, ant colony optimisation, particle swarm optimisation, differential evolution, tabu search, simulated annealing, variable neighbourhood search, etc.

Nevertheless, it is still a big challenge to further boost the efficiency, precision and robustness of ISOAs in dealing with complex systems. As a result, advanced techniques are required. For example, ensemble strategy is useful in designing versatile ISOAs by bringing together several types of algorithm components of respective advantages. In addition, it is widely agreed that strong while balanced exploration and exploitation capabilities are critical in a powerful ISOA. Moreover, evidence has frequently shown that the combination of problem domain knowledge and ISOAs could greatly improve the problem solving process. Furthermore, some other promising topics are attracting increasing attention, such as algorithm hybridisation, techniques for handling complex constraints, surrogate models for computationally expensive problems, adapted algorithm configuration, and distributed ISOAs.
