Industrial Strength COMPASS (ISC) is open source code for maximizing or minimizing the expected value of a single performance measure generated by a stochastic simulation with respect to integer ordered decision variables subject to linear-integer constraints. ISC is a particular implementation of the COMPASS framework developed by Hong and Nelson (see the link to papers) for locally convergent, discrete optimization-via-simulation (DOvS) algorithms. ISC was developed by Jie Xu.
