AAL won the SG Mark Award 2017 for RBFOpt, a model-based, black-box optimization library and Opossum (OPtimizatiOn System with SUrrogate Models), an easy-to-use optimisation tool for architectural designers based on RBFOpt developed by Thomas Wortmann in collaboration with Giacomo Nannicini of IBM T.
