Generalized model building within an integrated decision support system
Abstract
This paper describes of a Generalized Model Builder (GMB) for use within a framework for integrating multiple analytic tools, operating from an integrated model database. This system provides a uniform interface for a variety of applications, including: simulation, optimization, financial analysis, steady-state network analysis, scheduling-balancing heuristics, and project planning. Graphical, prompt, and spreadsheet-like interfaces are described.

Many human-computer interfaces are designed with the assumption that the user must adapt to the system, that users must be trained and their behavior altered to fit a given interface. The research presented here proceeds from the alternative assumption: ...
