Abstract:Mathematical models drawn from several modeling traditions play an important role in decision support. This paper describes PDM, a knowledge-based tool designed to help non-expert users construct Linear Programming (LP) models of Production, Distribution and Inventory (PDI) planning problems. PDM interactively aids users In defining a logic model of their planning problem and employs it to generate problem-specific inferences and as input to a model building component that mechanically constructs the algebraic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
