Several interactive methods exist to identify nondominated solutions in a Multiple Objective Mixed Integer Linear Program. But what if the Decision Maker is also interested in sorting those solutions (assigning them to pre-established ordinal categories)? We propose an interactive ‘‘branch-and-bound like’’ technique to progressively build the nondominated set, combined with ELECTRE TRI method (...

We present a framework which uses POET, an interpreted code transformation language, to effectively combine programmable control from developers, advanced optimizations by compilers, and flexible empirical tuning of optimizations to achieve portable high performance for scientific computing. We have extended ROSE, a C/C++/Fortran source-to-source compiler, to automatically analyze scientific co...
