Abstract
Techniques are provided for simulation-based online workflow optimization. One method comprises obtaining a state of concurrent workflows; obtaining state similarity functions that assign a similarity score between pairs of states; generating a simulation model of the workflow executions representing different configurations of at least one control variable in the workflow executions by mapping states with a highest similarity; obtaining at least one utility function that assigns a utility score to the states in the simulation model; determining a configuration of the control variable that maximizes the utility score for states in the simulation model; and for new concurrent workflows: obtaining a current state of the new concurrent workflows; identifying a most similar state with one of the determined configurations of the control variable in the simulation model with a highest similarity to the current state; and adjusting the configuration of the control variable of the new concurrent workflows to match the corresponding configuration of the control variable of the most similar state.
