Abstract:
This article describes the tuning of an Electrocardiogram (ECG) simulator as a benchmark problem to show
the application of surrogate modelling in complex global optimisation. After presenting the background on ECG, its simulation
and the optimisation task, the main concepts and methods of surrogate modelling and Efficient Global Optimisation (EGO)
are presented. Here, next to the standard techniques regularly involved in the algorithm, alternative approaches are discussed
briefy. Finally, first results applying the depicted algorithm on the ECG simulator optimisation problem are presented.
