Abstract
Most optimization algorithms have uncertainty in their computational steps. Therefore, it is prudent to interactively monitor their progress and change the course of computations if problems are encountered in the expected performance. Proper interactive algorithms need to be developed and implemented into user-friendly software. The present paper describes general algorithms suitable for interactive design optimization. Several queries that can aid the design optimization process are described and algorithms to implement them are given. Using these queries the designer can actually guide the design process toward improved designs and, finally, the best design. Several other capabilities, such as graphics that can aid the interactive design decision making process are also discussed and demonstrated with example problems.
