Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the development and application of a library of functions that is the optimization engine for the OptQuest system. OptQuest is commercial software designed for optimizing complex systems, such as those formulated as simulation models. OptQuest has been integrated with several simulation packages with the goal of adding optimization capabilities. The optimization technology within OptQuest is based on the metaheuristic framework known as scatter search. In addition to describing the functionality of the OptQuest Callable Library (OCL) with an illustrative example, we apply it to a set of unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems.
