Training

Surrogate training can take many different forms depending on the problem definition and the problem solving methods available. That's why JuliaSimSurrogates.jl provides a flexible framework for posing a problem and employing various problem solving methods.

The Training framework is composed of three parts:

1. Tasks
2. Strategies
3. Actions

Task

A Task is a problem to solve. This is the problem definition and there can only be one. This will vary user to user, but typically it takes the form of a ModelingToolkit.jl model or an FMU.

Strategy

A Strategy is a way to go about solving the Task. There can be many strategies for a particular Task.

Action

An Action is a procedural step of a Strategy to solve Task. There can (and almost certainly will) be many actions for a Strategy + Task.
