One of the main problems in development the decision support software is the availability of efficient optimization algorithms. These algorithms, when applied in decision support systems should possess several criteria -- like robustness, efficiency, high speed and low memory requirements. Moreover, the special structure of the optimization problem arising in such applications should be taken into account. All these facts motivated the System and Decision Sciences Program to investigate all these topics.
This paper presents the result of such collaborative effort. The HYBRID system, developed in the Institute of System Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences is the implementation of original, non simplex algorithm especially suited for solving dynamic multiple criteria problem. Except of high efficiency, this algorithm is especially interesting for microcomputers with small available memory.
This research is being performed upon a contracted study agreement between the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and the Polish Academy of Sciences
