Integration of simulation and optimization for solving complex decision making problems

This paper represents an on-going research and concerns the development of an unified formal modeling framework designed to provide for model sharing, reusability and integration of simulation and optimization methods to allow decision-makers to master the dynamics of complex discrete systems. It should be pointed out that the different steps of problem identification, modeling and application generation use the same integrated formalism and environment.
