CIPDSS-PST: CIPDSS Portfolio Selection Tool Documentation and User's Guide.

DE2008934429

Publication Date	2008
Personal Author	VanKuiken, J. C.; Jusko, M. J.; Samsa, M. E.
Page Count	60
Abstract	The Critical Infrastructure Protection Decision Support System--Portfolio Support Tool (CIPDSS-PST) provides a versatile and powerful tool for selecting, optimizing, and analyzing portfolios. The software introduces a compact interface that facilitates problem definition, constraint specification, and portfolio analysis. The tool also provides a simple screen design for comparing user-preferred choices with optimized selections. CIPDSS-PST uses a portable, efficient, mixed-integer optimization engine (lp(-)solve) to derive the optimal mix of projects that satisfies the constraints and maximizes the total portfolio utility. The CIPDSS-PST software can be readily applied to other nonportfolio, resource-constrained optimization problems.
