The concept of meta-goal programming is developed and linked to an interactive framework. An algorithm is proposed, in which the decision maker can establish target values on several achievement functions and use an interactive procedure to update these values. This substantially alleviates the problems associated with assigning to each attribute a target value, in order to build the goals, as ...

Paper presented at the 7th meeting of the EURO-working group "Aide a la decision multicritere" in York, april 1978.

since lean concept has appeared many works have been done on decreasing or even eliminating of wastes such as extra inventory. although these studies have not taken into account expected availability seriously. so in this paper, a multiple objective decision making (modm) model has been developed by viewpoint of these subjects. they are decreasing wastes and increasing system availability. wast...

this research proposes a methodology for ranking decision making units byusing a goal programming model.we suggest a two phases procedure. in phase1, by using some dea problems for each pair of units, we construct a pairwisecomparison matrix. then this matrix is utilized to rank the units via the goalprogramming model.

Constraint Programming (CP) is a very general programming paradigm that proved its efficiency on solving complex industrial problems. Most real-life problems are stochastic in nature, which is usually taken into account through different compromises, such as applying a deterministic algorithm to the average values of the input, or performing multiple runs of simulation. Our goal in this paper i...
