Abstract
Surrogate models are used in grey-box or black-box modeling of a wide variety of systems including electromagnetic modeling of complex structures, geological distributions of minerals, interaction of airflows with airfoils, chemical processes, to name just a few. Only recently have surrogate models been used explicitly in electronics. Surrogate modeling is a macromodeling technique which has solid mathematical foundations and most often, has a strong intuitive linkage to the physical world. So when did surrogate modeling start? One could say that it has always been with us but the term in its current usage was coined by Osio and Amon in 1996 [1]. This work was preceded in 1994 in a paper by Bandler et al. in which design tools, is a surrogate model that is continuously refined.
