D6.3 Report on stochastic optimisation for simple problems

==Abstract==

This report addresses the general matter of optimisation under uncertainties, following a previous report on stochastic sensitivities (deliverable 6.2). It describes several theoretical methods, as well their application into implementable algorithms.
The specific case of the conditional value at risk chosen as risk measure, with its challenges, is prominently discussed. In particular, the issue of smoothness – or lack thereof – is addressed through several possible approaches. The whole report is written in the context of high-performance computing, with concern for parallelisation and cost-efficiency.
