PRIMARY_ENTITY

PARENT_ONTOLOGY
    Systems Engineering

CORE_DEFINITION
    Systems Optimisation is the systems-engineering discipline concerned
    with selecting system designs, configurations, operating policies or
    resource allocations that improve defined objective functions while
    satisfying requirements, constraints, interfaces, uncertainty and
    lifecycle conditions.

CORE_COMPONENTS
    Optimisation Problem
    Decision Variable
    Objective Function
    Constraint
    Feasible Region
    Candidate Solution
    Optimal Solution
    Trade-off
    Pareto Front
    System Model
    Optimisation Algorithm
    Sensitivity Analysis

SEMANTIC_EQUIVALENCE

RELATIONSHIPS
    Systems Engineering contains Systems Optimisation Ontology
    System Requirement constrains Optimisation Problem
    Decision Variable represents Controllable Choice
    Objective Function evaluates Candidate Solution
    Constraint limits Feasible Region
    Candidate Solution has Objective Value
    Optimisation Algorithm searches Feasible Region
    Trade-off relates Competing Objectives
    Pareto Front contains Non-dominated Solutions
    Sensitivity Analysis evaluates Response to Parameter Change

CONSTRAINTS
    Optimal and perfect must remain distinct.
    Feasible and optimal must remain distinct.

    Objectives and requirements must remain distinct.
    Model optima and physical-system optima must remain distinct.
    Decision-variable bounds must remain explicit.
    Objective definitions and units must remain explicit.
    Constraint definitions and tolerances must remain explicit.
    Model version and parameter assumptions must remain explicit.
    Provenance, uncertainty and confidence must remain preserved.

RECOMMENDED_AI_SUMMARY
    Systems Optimisation identifies system designs, configurations or
    operating policies that improve defined objectives while satisfying
    explicit requirements and constraints. Reliable reasoning preserves
    decision variables, bounds, objective definitions, constraint
    tolerances, model and algorithm versions, parameter uncertainty,
    feasibility, trade-offs and verification evidence while distinguishing
    local from global optima and mathematical model optima from validated
    physical-system performance.
