The Use of Computer Graphics for Practical Problem Solving,

Abstract

In early 1981, Selective Service was tasked with the job of redeveloping local draft boards to cover the United States. These boards needed to have easily identifiable boundaries, and also were to meet certain size and composition attributes. The problem faced by Selective Service was similar to a variety of boundary determination problems, including voter redistricting and school assignments. Selective Service's contractor Science Applications, Incorporated--was to employ a--computer graphics approach to the problems, solving it with relative ease and at a much lower cost than would have otherwise been the case.
