Appl. No.:

11/691618

Inventors:

Rajesh Tyagi - Niskayuna NY, US
Kete Chalermkraivuth - Niskayuna NY, US

Assignee:

General Electric Capital Corporation - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 36R

Abstract:

A method of operating a computer system includes storing, in the computer system, a database containing performance measure data regarding performance measures of a plurality of items. The method further includes inputting into the computer system a plurality of performance measure constraints. The method also includes modeling the performance measure constraints with a set of equations. The equations include a plurality of variables. Each of the variables corresponds to a respective one of the items. Each variable is, for example, to be assigned either the value “1” or the value “0”. The value “1” may represent a recommendation to take an action relative to the corresponding item in the portfolio and the value “0” may represent a recommendation to take another action. The computer system is used to solve the set of equations to generate one or more solutions that satisfy the performance measure constraints.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 35, 705 36 T, 705 36 R, 705 37, 705313, 705 27, 705 10, 705 39, 705306, 706 13, 348362, 709221

Abstract:

A visual interactive multi-criteria decision-making method and computer-based apparatus for portfolio management. The method/apparatus supports partitioning of a portfolio of physical or other assets into two mutually exclusive categories, such as assets recommended for sale and assets recommended for retention. The method/apparatus utilizes one or more coupled 2-D projections of the portfolio in criteria space. The user interacts with the projections to express and record preferences.
