Guidelines for defining optimization studies

Last updated 1 year ago

Was this helpful?

This section provides some guidelines on how to define optimization studies by means of a few examples related to single-technology/layer systems, in particular on how to define workflows and telemetry providers.

More complex real-world examples are provided by the guide.
