AN IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIFIED PROGRAMMING ON ACTDSS

A unified programming environment is implemented on our DSS generator, called actDSS, which is a general platform for constructing intellige nt specific systems. The architecture of the implemented unified progr amming is a hierarchical connection of a numerical solver and a non-nu merical evaluator. The former produces an optimum solution of a proble m and the latter evaluates the solution heuristically, controlling the total model that encompasses the former by modifying the constraint a nd the parameter value. A job assignment problem is used as a demonstr ation of the architecture, which is formulated as a mixed integer prog ramming problem, In this paper, a general scheme of the unified progra mming is introduced, Its feasibility on actDSS is demonstrated and fin ally we discuss how the implementation was possible in the system.
