Interval parameter modelling to generate alternatives: A software for environmental decision-making under uncertainty G.H. Huang, Y.Y. Yin, S.J. Cohen & B. Bass Aeaearc/t Group - Abstract An interval parameter Hop, Skip, and Jump (IPHSJ) approach and the related computer software are proposed and applied to the area of environmental systems analysis. The method improves upon existing modelling to generate alternatives (MGA) approaches by allowing uncertain information to be effectively communicated into the optimization process and resulting solutions. Feasible decision alternatives can be generated through interpretation of the IPHSJ solutions according to projected applicable system conditions, which are flexible in reflecting potential system condition variations caused by the existence of input uncertainties. The IPHSJ method is demonstrated in a hypothetical scenario of changing agricultural/timbering capability due
