Objective generation

[arnaud-m]

• Define the list of criteria
• Adapt the small language of MCCS that lets the user define its own criteria combination
• Provide example of trendy combinations

[arnaud-m]

The first criteria is related to the number of pservers:

• pserv : total number of pservers
• pserv[k or type:k] : total number of pservers of type k
• pserv{lambda}, pserv[k]{lambda} : the two previous criteria where an optional lambda value gives the opportunity to attach a weight to the agregate by means of a positive integer. All the coefficients of the criteria will be multiplied by this weight.

[kyo06]

• Total number of pservers
• properties of pservers :
  • typeServers:k => number of pservers de type k
  • facility:loc(i) => facility or site (option)
  • levelNetwork:l => possibility to define a range (1-3 in option)
• Total number of local connections
• Number of local connections per facility
• Bandwith : leximin on edge zij and maybe
• Number of connections of length 2

Move B_{ij} variables from constraint generation to objective generation.
In other words, the variables should not exist if there is no objective related to the bandwidth.
