TL;DR: In this paper, a non-preemptive goal programming model for the optimal allocation of energy resources to various energy end uses is presented for bridging the energy supply and demand gap in India.
Abstract: The optimal allocation of energy resources to various energy end uses is an important strategy for bridging the energy supply and demand gap in India. It has been recognized that the allocation should be guided by multiple criteria. A multiobjective programming model for such an allocation process is presented in the paper. The normative model has been applied for the households sector of Madras city. The model is solved using non pre-emptive goal programming. Variations in the original model have been made to build alternative scenarios. The results of the original model and the alternative scenarios indicate that the use of solar thermal energy, natural gas, LPG, fuelwood, kerosene and lignite should be promoted for cooking, and the use of grid electricity and diesel, should be promoted for meeting water pumping demands. They favour the use of electricity generated from diesel for lighting, and the use of solar photovoltaics for meeting the electricity demands of household appliances. The results also indicate that grid electricity and electricity generated from fuelwood should be promoted to meet the demands of all the four household end uses, and point to the need for more research into solar photovoltaics, which may become competitive for meeting household demands in the future.

TL;DR: This paper presents an algorithm that combines the advantage of the flexibility of goal programming with the robustness and the learning character of interactive procedures in an efficient and scalable manner.
Abstract: The paper is devoted to Interactive Multiple Goal Programming (IMGP). This new variant of goal programming tries to combine the advantage of the flexibility of goal programming with the robustness and the learning character of interactive procedures. After a description of the algorithm and some technical details, a numerical example is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the principles of VIG (Visual Interactive Goal Programming), a Multiple Criteria Decision Support System, recently developed by Korhonen, are described and PARETO RACE is a cornerstone of the system, which is designed to support both the modelling and solving of a multiple objective linear programming problem.
Abstract: In this paper we describe the principles of VIG (Visual Interactive Goal Programming), a Multiple Criteria Decision Support System, recently developed by Korhonen. PARETO RACE is a corner-stone of the system, which is designed to support both the modelling and solving of a multiple objective linear programming problem. A menu, spreadsheets, and interactive computer graphics play a key role.

TL;DR: In this article, a Multi-Choice Mixed Integer Goal Programming model (MCMI-GP) is proposed for aggregate production planning of a Brazilian sugar and ethanol milling company, which allows decision-makers to set multiple aspiration levels for their problems in which "the more/higher, the better" and "the less/lower, better" in the aspiration levels are addressed.
