چکیده

Large-scale mathematical models are built, managed and applied by people with different cognitive skills. This poses a challenge for the design of a multi-view architecture of a system that accommodates these differences. A primary objective of mathematical modeling is providing insights into problem behavior, and there are many constituencies who require different views for different questions. One constituency is composed of modellers who have different views of basic model components. Another constituency is composed of problem owners for whom models are built. These two constituencies , which are not exhaustive, have significantly different needs and skills. This paper addresses this issue of multi-view architecture by presenting a formal framework for the design of a view creation and management system. Specific views we consider include algebraic, block schematic, graphic, and textual. Both form and content are relevant to view creation, and the merits of views are determined by their value in aiding comprehension and insight. The need for a central, formal structure to create and manage views is demonstrated by the inadequacy of direct mappings from any of the popular systems that are typically designed to support only one view of linear programming models and their instances .

Cell forming and cell balancing of virtual cellular manufacturing systems with alternative processing routes using genetic algorithm

Cellular manufacturing (CM) is one of the most important subfields in the design of manufacturing systems and as a recently emerged field of study and practice, virtual cellular manufacturing (VCM) inherits the importance from CM. One type of VCM problems is VCM with alternative processing routes from which the route for processing each part should be selected. In this research, a bi-objective ...

ارائه یک مدل بهینه‌سازی ریاضی چند‌هدفه برای طبقه‌بندی

In this paper we investigate the issues of data classification (as one of the branches of data mining science) in form of multi-objective mathematical programming model. The model that we present and investigate is a MODM problem. First time, based on support vector machine (SVM) idea (To maximize the margin of two groups), a multi-criteria mathematical programming model was proposed for data m...

A Node-based Mathematical Model towards the Location Routing Problem with Intermediate Replenishment Facilities under Capacity Constraint

In this paper, we study the location routing problem with replenishment facilities (LRPRF), an extension of the location routing problem (LRP) where the vehicles can replenish at some replenishment facilities. Vehicles leave the depot with load on-board, serve customers until out of load, and then either return to a replenishment facility to reload or return to the depot, completing their route...
