An interactive graphic presentation for multiobjective linear programming

In this paper we examine the design and implementation issues relating to t he search process for a solution to an interactive multiobjective linear op timization problem (MOLP). A solution methodology proposed by Dror and Gass is employed. The primary objective of the design process is to investigate the advantages of using interactive graphics in the presentation of altern ative solutions and to direct the solution search. We find several features useful, including three-dimensional perspective views, graph animation, in teractive highlighting, and interactive detail inspection. (C) 2001 Elsevie r Science Inc.
