Abstract: | Optimization algorithms or heuristics in which the user interacts significantly either during the solution process or as part
of post-optimality analysis are becoming increasingly popular. An important underlying premise of such man/ machine systems
is that there are some steps in solving a problem in which the computer has an advantage and other steps in which a human
has an advantage. This paper first discusses how man/machine systems can be useful in facilitating model specification and
revision, coping with aspects of a problem that are difficult to quantify and assisting in the solution process. We then survey
successful systems that have been developed in the areas of vehicle scheduling, location problems, job shop scheduling, course
scheduling, and planning language-based optimization. |
