Computer Assisted Analysis and Modelling of Structured Problems
Abstract
This document argues the case for open system approach towards modelling and application support. The author discuss how the 'usability' and 'skill' analysis naturally leads to a viable strategy for integrating application construction with modelling tools and optimizers. The role of the implementation environment is also seen to be critical in that it is retained as a building block within the resulting system. Computer based methods for supporting optimization applications are of great interest to operational research workers and management scientists. This paper puts forward an analysis of the scope as well as the goal of such systems set against our understanding of the methodological, technological and organizational issues. A number of workers have indicated the importance of the recent developments which take us beyond the considerations of robust optimization routines, and languages and systems for constructing mathematical programming models. The real life use of mathematical programming optimization models is one of many important examples of applying mathematical modelling.
