Resumen
La Investigación de Operaciones es uno de los campos de la Matemática Aplicada que mayor desarrollo ha tenido en los últimos tiempos. Con frecuencia encontramos en empresas y centros de investigación problemáticas que pueden resolverse haciendo uso de algoritmos pertenecientes a esta disciplina, evidenciando la gran aplicabilidad de la misma. Existen diferentes herramientas para resolver problemas de optimización, como el Storm y el Lingo, los cuales han sido utilizados para la enseñanza de las asignaturas Modelos de Optimización, de la carrera Licenciatura en Ciencia de la Computación e Investigación de Operaciones, de la carrera Ingeniería Informática. Una limitante de estos programas es que no permiten resolver los problemas paso a paso, solo proveen la solución final al modelo previamente definido. De ahí que ha sido del interés de los profesores de estas asignaturas realizar una investigación sobre las necesidades actuales de las asignaturas mencionadas, de cuyo resultado ha surgido la necesidad de contar con un software que resuelva paso a paso los métodos que se estudian en estas asignaturas con una interfaz agradable al usuario que permita una mayor comprensión de los métodos por parte de los estudiantes.
Operations Research is one of the fields of Applied Mathematics which has had the biggest development in recent times. Several companies and research centers often present problems that can be solved using algorithms belonging to this discipline, demonstrating its wide applicability. There are different tools for solving optimization problems, such as Storm and Lingo, which have been used for teaching the subjects Optimization Models, in the Computer Science career and Operations Research in Computer Engineering. One limitation of these programs is that they do not solve the problems step by step. They just provide the final solution to the previously defined model. Hence, it has been of interest for the teachers of these subjects to research on the current needs of the mentioned subjects, which outcome is the need of a software product to solve, step by step, the methods studied in these subjects with a nice interface that allows a greater understanding by the students.
