Visual Analysis of Multidimensional Optimization Problems.
Technische Universität Darmstadt
Bachelorarbeit, Bibliographie
Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
This work presents a visual interface to access an optimization system to solve multidimensional decision problems. Today the complexity of decision making problems is generally high because many aspects have to be considered. Especially in the policy making process substantial decisions require profound knowledge. Strategic environmental assessment plays an important role in this process. The duty to consider environmental impacts caused by political decisions is obliged by law in many countries. This makes the decision making process more complex and requires better methods to find a solution. With optimization it is possible to create mathematical models that weight out multidimensional decisions. The models and the produced solutions have to be reviewed by the decision makers but they are not easy-to-understand. In my approach I design and implement a visual-interactive application that enables the visual access to complex optimization models, and the analysis of alternative solutions. It makes use of approved visualization techniques and state of the art methodologies to make abstract information transparent. This conveys the knowledge behind the decision options in a reasonable way. Contributions are a visual-interactive interface that enables the visual access to complex optimization models, and the analysis of alternative solutions. In this way strategic environmental assessment can be improved and the policy maker is able to understand where policy options originated. The evaluation of the prototype revealed that the interface offers an easy access to alternative solutions and gives more insight to the process behind finding policy options.
