Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: The paper deals with the problem of long computing times during optimization of real processes. All commonly used optimization methods search for optimal solution in iterative way. Therefore, they require many simulations of the model of optimized process. In case of numerous processes (e.g. metallurgical) the models are often complex and require time consuming numerical computations. This cause that optimization time may be unacceptable high. This is the reason why new optimization methods which need less simulation runs are searched. The main goal of the paper is to present a new, more efficient approximation based optimization method. The elaborated method was validated using frequently employed benchmark functions and applied in optimization of laminar cooling of rolled DP steel strips process
