Optimization of dynamic regional models (Q1073715)

We consider several problems concerning the optimization of dynamic regional models. In particular we describe the optimization of the model of a region, Western Andalusia, in southern Spain. Fuzzy set theory is applied because of the inherent imprecisions in the judgements about goals and its tradeoffs. Multicriteria optimization is used due to the fact that, in most cases, the search for the optimal policies must be performed taking into account non conmensurable and conflicting objectives. We present a program package which incorporates these methodologies together with simulation, optimization and sensitivity analysis routines.
