Optimization of black boxes with variable precision

My research consists of utilizing the stochastic structure of non-deterministic black boxes to ease to optimization process with the NOMAD software. The idea is to adapt the precision (or fidelity) of every black box evaluation dynamically, such that some evaluations are very fast, and others longer. This project is specifically aimed at stochastic black boxes with very time consuming evaluations like the PRIAD simulator from IREQ (L'institut de recherche d'Hydro-Québec). The approach is developed and tested on SOLAR instances, a set of black boxe instances, some of which have similar properties to PRIAD's problem, but with much less expensive evaluations.
