Abstract
This paper provides a commentary and some analysis on recent advances in the field of distance metric optimisation, with particular reference to the place of distance metric optimisation within the overall disciplines of operational research and soft computing. The trend of integration and combination with other techniques is examined, with particular reference to the analytical hierarchy method, meta-heuristic methods, and data mining. Finally, some further thoughts on good modelling practice for distance metric optimisation models are offered.
