Abstract
Fast and efficient mathematical programming routines
have been developed for network flow problems, but due to
their complexity the average manager or lay analyst does not
possess the mathematical or programming background required
to construct the models or use the solution technology
available. This problem is solved here by the development
of an interactive network generating system designed to
create, update, and solve a singla-commodity network with
only a minimal knowledge of network structure and only a
rudimentary mastery of computer terminal use. This is
accomplished through the interactive use of a set of FORTRAN
programs which lead the user, step-by-step, through the construction
of the network by a series of queries, and which
links with GNET, a machine independent FORTRAN program for
the solution of capacitated network flow problems.
