	abstract = {OPEDo is a software tool for the optimization of discrete
event systems according to performance or dependability
measures. The tool can be seen as an add on to various
tools for performance and dependability analysis. The goal
of OPEDo is to provide a wide variety of optimization algorithms
for complex black box functions as they are required
for the model based optimization of discrete event systems
using analytically tractable models or simulation models.
The paper introduces the software architecture of the tool,
gives a brief sketch of the integrated optimization algorithms
and presents several examples.},
