Abstract
We review the use of statistical design and analysis of computer experiments (DACE) for the generation of parsimonious, surrogate models, also known as metamodels. Such metamodels are used to replace cpu- or memory-intensive, discretized approximations that often arise in MEMS and MOEMS. Emphasis is placed on optimal designs.
