Abstract: This chapter presents a bibliography of goal programming for the period 1990–2000. Goal programming is introduced and the main variants are defined. An analysis of applications by field is given. A survey of advances in various goal programming extension areas is conducted. The integration and combination of goal programming with other solution, analysis, and modelling techniques is examined. Conclusions are drawn and suggestions for future research directions are made. A list of over 280 references is presented.

TL;DR: The resulting package provides an efficient and user-friendly environment for the interactive solution and analysis of a wide variety of multiple-objective programming (MOP) models.
Abstract: This paper presents an overview of a global multiple-objective system capable of rigourously handling a wide variety of multiple-objective and goal programming (GP) models. The system has two efficient solution engines that complement one another. These are an intelligent conventional optimisation system and a genetically driven heuristic search-based solver. The development of a linear and nonlinear sparse storage system capable of handling additional multiple-objective factors such as priority levels, goals, objectives, and upper and lower bounds is described. An appropriate input/output style for multiple-objective programmes is given. The resulting package provides an efficient and user-friendly environment for the interactive solution and analysis of a wide variety of multiple-objective programming (MOP) models.

TL;DR: This paper provides a commentary and some analysis on recent advances in the field of distance metric optimisation, with particular reference to the analytical hierarchy method, meta-heuristic methods, and data mining.
Abstract: This paper provides a commentary and some analysis on recent advances in the field of distance metric optimisation, with particular reference to the place of distance metric optimisation within the overall disciplines of operational research and soft computing. The trend of integration and combination with other techniques is examined, with particular reference to the analytical hierarchy method, meta-heuristic methods, and data mining. Finally, some further thoughts on good modelling practice for distance metric optimisation models are offered.
