Survey and Extension of AFIT Computer Resources to Support Graduate Operations Research Education.

Abstract

The historical relationship between operations research and the computer was developed using a search of the literature. The historical data was compiled into a timeline and bibliography. The analysis of the historical data concluded that operations research and the computer are in a synergistic relationship where developments in either field enhance the other field. From the historical background and from the literature, a model of computer support for graduate operations research education was developed. The checklist based upon this model was used to evaluate portions of the Air Force Institute of Technology's Graduate Operations Research program. After the results of a literature search on problem formulation was presented, a proposal for an automated method for algorithm selection was developed. (Author)
