Automated and Automatic Systems of Management of an Optimization Programs Package for Decisions Making

It is known that, in spite of a large number of methods for numerical solutions to various classes of problems, the choice of the most efficient method for solving a particular problem under specific values of its parameters requires a large number of comparative experiments. As a rule, end users tend to have difficulty both in carrying out such experiments, which require knowledge of the domain of applicability of various numerical methods, and in properly conducting the comparative analysis of the results, which is quite time-consuming. We carry out the analysis of techniques and algorithms for managing a computational process to solve difficult or complex optimization problems with the use of computer systems. In this work, for the class of multivariate optimization problems, we propose two approaches for facilitating the use of available applied software packages using modern multi-processor and/or multicore computer systems. One of the approaches involves the active work of the user with the optimization program package in dialogue mode. The other approach involves packet control by means of a specially developed control program in automatic mode. The work contains the protocols and results of computer-based experiments for the class of unconstrained optimization problems on the basis of the developed software package.
