Interactive optimization methodology for fleet scheduling

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), 1991, vol. 38, issue 5, 669-677

Abstract: This article addresses the problem of scheduling the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet to satisfy overseas strategic requirements. An integer programming formulation is developed but results in a model with prohibitive size. This fact and the qualitative nature of additional secondary objectives and constraints suggest an interactive optimization approach. A system that solves a natural relaxation of the integer program within an interactive environment is discussed.
