From TRIMAP to SOMMIX — Building Effective Interactive MOLP Computational Tools

  • Conference paper
Multiple Criteria Decision Making

Abstract

This paper aims at presenting a path of development of interactive computational tools devoted to provide decision aid in multiple objective linear programming (MOLP) problems, made by a research team at the University of Coimbra. After referring to the motivation of this research area, the main characteristics of the research work which has been carried out in the last years are described, with special emphasis on the MOLP interactive environments TRIMAP, TOMMK and SOMMIX.
