Interactive Multiobjective Mathematical Programming

The term goal programming first appeared in a 1961 text by Charnes and Cooper to deal with multiobjective linear programming problems that assumed the decision maker (DM) could specify his goals or aspiration levels of the objective functions. Subsequent works on goal programming have been numerous including the texts on goal programming by Ijiri (1965), Lee (1972) and Ignizio (1976, 1982), and survey papers by Kornbluth (1973), Charnes and Cooper (1977) and Ignizio (1983).
