NEW OPTIMIZATION TECHNOLOGY 
FOR COMPLEX TECHNICAL SYSTEMS EFFICIENCY INCREASING

Our technology is designed for multidimensional (up to 100 and more variables) optimization of practical problems with continuous, breaking nondifferentiative and stochastic goal functions.

At the moment the raise of complex technical systems effectiveness (such as gas-turbine engines, flying vehicles etc.) is reached by introduction of the new manufacturing technologies, by application of the new conceptual solutions etc. However, for majority of engineering systems it is possible to achieve an essential raise of their effectiveness at the expense of multiparameter (50 and more variables) and multicriteria optimization.

For this purpose the unique technology for optimization investigations has been developed. The technology is oriented to researches, analysis, search of ways to increase the efficiency and development forecasting of complex technical systems by means of:

during their designing, operational development and modernization. The technology is based on a new method of indirect optimization on the basis of self-organizing - IOSO, which has been developed by Proff. I.N.Egorov (Moscow, Russia).
