Abstract

A prototype of a Web-based software system for optimization and multiple criteria decision making, applicable to business, research and learning purposes is presented. The system facilitates the construction of mathematical models and the solution of some popular real optimization and decision making problems. It has user friendly interface designed for different groups of users. The system software is accessible from anywhere by means of a standard browser and an Internet connection.
