Abstract

See full text

A method and system for solving constrained optimization problems. An initial abstract solution represents a prioritized set of decisions. The abstract solution is used as the basis for building a concrete solution. The concrete solution is analyzed to determine one or more local moves that represent a re-prioritization of the abstract solution. After a local moves is made, the process begins again with a new abstract solution, that is closer to an optimal solution. This process continues interactively until an optimal solution is reached or approached. The prioritized set of decisions can be implemented as a priority vector or a priority graph.
