Toward the Consolidation of Interactive Multiple Objective Programming Procedures

  • Conference paper
Large-Scale Modelling and Interactive Decision Analysis

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 273))

Abstract

The paper discusses a consolidated approach to multiple criteria optimization that subsumes most of the most prominent interactive procedures that have been designed for solving multiple objective programming problems. The consolidated approach not only allows users to choose which interactive procedure to apply, but it also allows users to select different procedures on different iterations if so desired. Also, comments are made about multiple criteria information transfer protocols using computer graphics and voice communications capabilities at the computer/user interface.

The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not reflect the officical views of the Navy Department
