Abstract

In a recent issue of INTERFACES (November 1971), Dr. J. P. Ignizio (Ignizio, J. P. 1971. On the establishment of standards for comparing algorithm performance. Interfaces 2 (1, November).) discussed the algorithm selection problems that confront the Operations research practitioner. A set of recommendations were proposed, leading to the establishment of publication standards. There is high merit in Dr. Ignizio's proposal, for it is widely recognized that many in the OR community pride themselves for development of sophisticated algorithms, a pride that is justly deserved; but there is very little attention given to the matter of algorithmic practicality and workability. A framework is needed that will assist the evaluation of proposed techniques. Such a framework can only come about through the development of the standards that Dr. Ignizio proposes.
