TORA
Temporary-Ordered Routing Algorithm (TORA) – An Operations Research Software
TORA is an algorithm i.e. a mathematical set of instructions or programs (mathematical-software). It is an optimization system in the area of operations research which is very easy to use. Further, TORA is menu-driven and Windows-based which makes it very user friendly.
The software can be executed in automated or tutorial mode. The automated mode reports the final solution of the problem, usually in the standard format followed in commercial packages, while the tutorial mode keeps on giving step-wise information about the methodology and solution. TORA tutorial software deals with the following algorithms: •Solution of simultaneous linear equations •Linear programming •Transportation model •Integer programming •Network models •Project analysis by CPM/PERT •Poisson queuing models •Zero-sum games
The software provides a number of tutorial features: 1. TORA allows both user-guided (tutorial) and automated use of the software. 2. In the user-guided option, steps of the algorithms are reproduced exactly as presented in the book. The user decides the course of the algorithmic computations with instant feedback regarding the decisions made. The objective is to reinforce the user’s understanding of the basic ideas of the algorithm without being “bogged” down in the computational details. 3. All the details needed to use an algorithm are given directly on the screen, thus precluding the need for a user’s manual.
