Abstract

We present Moolloy, a general purpose, spreadsheet-like user interface for combinatorial multi-objective optimization. Current user interfaces for multi-objective optimization tend to either require some programming experience to use, or are narrowly focused on specific problems. Consequently, multi-objective optimization is usually only used by sophisticated technical workers, such as aerospace engineers. Moolloy makes multi-objective optimization accessible to a larger set of potential users.
