A New Computer-Based Planning Tool.

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to document this recent emergence of generalized networks as a fundamental computer-based planning tool and to demonstrate the power of the associated modeling and solution technologies when used in concert to solve real-world applications. Part I focuses on how generalized networks have been and may be used to model a diverse collection of significant practical problems. Part II discusses the design and analysis of large-scale generalized network computer solution techniques. The central ideas that have brought GN problems into their own as a fundamental planning tool, by providing an effective methodology for computer implementations are clearly outlined.
