Applied Simulation and Optimization 2

Miguel Mujica Mota is an associate professor at the Aviation Academy of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. He was previously the sub director of Aviation Studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He holds a PhD in industrial informatics from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and a PhD in operations research from the National University of Mexico, all obtained with the highest honors.Dr. Mota has given several courses in modelling, simulation methodologies and optimization for industrial and academic audiences in different countries. He has participated in several international projects in which simulation and optimization were the key factors for their success. Dr. Mota has been awarded the Level I of the Mexican National Council of Science and Technology where he also participates as a scientific evaluator for Latin America. He is the co-author of three books and numerous papers on simulation, operations research, aviation, manufacturing and logistics. His research interests focus on the use of simulation, modelling formalisms and heuristics for the optimization and performance analysis of aeronautical operations, manufacture and logistics.

“Each chapter has a comprehensive list of references, a discussion on status, and suggestions for future work. In general, all chapters are easy to read. This collection would be of interest to industrial operations analysts and researchers in industrial process simulation.” (Computing Reviews, February, 2018)​
