Knowledge-based language for modeling linear programming problems

The innovative aspect of this research is to apply knowledge-based methodology to model linear programming problems. This article introduces a graphic and declarative language, and shows the modeling process from the knowledge acquisition to the automatic generation of the algebraic model to be used by a solver.
