2018 Nature-inspired Methods for Stochastic, Robust and Dynamic Optimization  
Robust optimization is an emerging area in research that allows addressing different optimization problems and specifically industrial optimization problems where there is a degree of uncertainty in some of the variables involved. There are several ways to apply robust optimization and the choice of form is typical of the problem that is being solved. In this paper, the basic concepts of robust optimization are developed, the different types of robustness are defined in detail, the main areas
more » ... which it has been applied are described and finally, the future lines of research that appear in this area are included.
