Selected Reports of the Simulation Optimization Systems Research Laboratory

The Simulation Optimization Systems (SOS) Research Laboratory was founded by Dr. John W. Bandler and published research reports from 1983 to 2002. The Laboratory was formed with the aim of advancing the state of the art in device modeling and optimal design of complex engineering systems, and developed some of the world's first statistical modeling/yield driven design technology for computer-aided design. The SOS Lab's areas of focus have included design centering, optimal assignment of tolerances, postproduction tuning, large-scale optimization, active device parameter extraction, physics-based statistical device modeling and simulation, design methodologies for GaAs microwave/millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits, microwave measurement technology, exploitation of full-wave electromagnetic simulators, and more.

The SOS Research Laboratory's support and collaborative relationships have included Optimization Systems Associates Inc. (OSA, also founded by Bandler), Agilent Technologies (later Keysight Technologies), Sonnet Software, Inc., Ansoft Corporation (later ANSYS), CST Computer Simulation Technology, Faustus Scientific Corporation, Com Dev International, Communication Research Centre Canada, and Nortel Networks. Funding included grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC).

The SOS Research Laboratory collaborated in the development of many of OSA's products, including RoMPE, HarPE, OSA90/hope, Empipe, Empipe3D, EmpipeExpress, and empath. These programs were available to SOS Lab associates and used as examples in Bandler's undergraduate and graduate courses. The Empipe family became the foundation of Agilent HFSS Designer and Momentum Optimization (Agilent Technologies, later Keysight Technologies). Optimization Systems Associates Inc. was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 1997.

Bandler's Space Mapping concept and technology have been used by the SOS Laboratory since 1993, leading to the early development of user-friendly optimization methods and tools including the Matlab-based system called SMF.

During it's circa 30-year lifespan, significant contributors and champions to the lab have included H.L. Abdel-Malek, M.H. Bakr, R.M. Biernacki, S.H. Chen, Q.S. Cheng, S. Daijavad, M.A. El-Kady, P.A. Grobelny, W.J.R. Hoefer, W. Kellermann, S. Koziel, C. Kudsia, K. Madsen, R.R. Mansour, N.K. Nikolova, J.E. Rayas-Sanchez, J.C. Rautio, D.G. Swanson, Jr., and Q.J. Zhang.
