The State of the Art of Linear Programming on Personal Computers
Ramesh Sharda · INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics · 1988
The phenomenal growth of microcomputers in both market size and technology has resulted in a proliferation of management science/operations research science software, including linear programming (LP) software. An earlier survey of LP software was published three years ago. This broad summary of LP software highlights recent advances, such as spreadsheet-based software and model generation systems, and discusses its enhanced capability to handle larger problems, greater speed, and better user interfaces.
