    Abstract: A controller and a method for optimizing a controlled operation of a system performing a task is provided. The method for optimizing the controlled operation of the system comprises accessing a probabilistic distribution of a performance function trained to provide a relationship between different combinations of control parameters for controlling the system and their corresponding costs of operation, selecting a combination of control parameters from the different combinations of control parameters, such that the selected combination of control parameters is having the largest likelihood of being optimal at the probabilistic distribution of the performance function. The method further comprises controlling the system using the selected combination of the control parameters and modifying the probabilistic distribution of the performance function conditioned on the selected combination of the control parameters and the corresponding cost of operation.
