Computer Assisted Analysis and Modelling of Structured Problems
Abstract
Scientific Work Completed: 1) We are currently investigating the scope of introducing (relational) database facility, within our Computer Assisted Mathematical Programming (Modelling) System (CAMPS). We plan to introduce a modern user interface, such as window tools, for system control aimed at modellers with no programming skill. An additional support system, that is programmer's interface, is also planned. CAMPS is a program generator system. With this interface non-standard modelling applications may be constructed by analysts. 2) We have investigated methods by which nonlinear functions which are not variable separable may be, after suitable algebraic manipulation, put in a variable separable form. While not concerning ourselves with the most computationally efficient representation of nonlinear function for optimization, we have endeavoured to create a general algebraic representation leading to computer support for the modeller. We have already created partial computer support for special ordered sets of type one and type two. 3) Currently, we are investigating the integration of the system with a computer assisted analysis system. We have a working version and a full description of this system and are generally examining the scope of pre-analysis of the model before optimization.
