Solving Multicriteria Optimization Problems with WebOptim Software System

Abstract

This paper is a presentation of a web based decision support system “WebOptim” for solving single and multiple criteria optimization problems. It targets a wide range of user typeseducators, researchers, managers and business people. It also provides two types of communication interfaces user friendly graphical interface for human interaction and programming interface for machine communication with other third party software systems. The interfaces facilitate the problem solving process of different types of optimization problems, mainly single and multi-objective programming optimization problems with continuous or integer variables.
