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
