Özet

This paper gives a general model for the faculty course assignment problem that is a zero-one nonlinear multiobjective programming problem. Because of the nonconvexity of the problem, simple weighting scalarization does not guarantee finding all Pareto-optimal solutions. Therefore, a newly developed three step process consisting of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, scalarization and the subgradient method is provided to deal with the problem. This approach is used to solve a nonconvex multiobjective faculty course assignment problem for the first time. A real life application is included. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
