Abstract:

Abstract. Metamodel-Assisted Evolution Strategies (MAES) are proposed as a new approach for simulator-based optimization in the domain of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) design. In the given application domain function evaluations tend to be very time consuming and thus techniques like metamodeling are to be considered in order to accelerate evolutionary optimization strategies. The MAES partially replaces the time consuming EMC computer model by so-called gaussian random field metamodels. These metamodels can be used for interpolation of objective function for new input vectors. All interpolations are based on values from a database of previously obtained function evaluations, that might stem from previous optimization runs or that are sampled during the course of optimization. Gaussian random field models not only allow for a fast prediction of the objective function value, but also augment the predicted result with a confidence value. This value can be used to improve the performance of the MAES, whenever difficult nonlinear problems need to be solved. The results indicates that the MAES is both a versatile and effective tool for automatically improving the quality of devices in electromagnetic compatibility design. 1
