Abstract
We will consider a Multiple Criteria Decision Support System- VIG (Visual Interactive Goal Programming) developed by Korhonen. VIG is designed to support both modelling and solving multiple objective linear programming problems. The interface is based on one main menu, spreadsheets, and interactive use of computer graphics. The corner point VIG is PARETO RACE, which enables the decision maker to freely search nondominated solutions in a dynamic way. VIG provides the decision-maker with the possibility to approach his/her decision problem in an evolutionary way. This means that the decision-maker does not have to specify the model precisely prior to solving the problem. In fact, the model evolves progressively. We also discuss applications of VIG to practical problems.
