First, a brief summary of nonsequential solution concepts for this class of decision problems on multiprocessor systems will be given. The focus of attention will be put on coarse-grained parallelization and its implementation on multi-computer clusters. The conceptual design objectives for the OpTiX-II Software Environment will be presented as well as the implementation on a workstation cluster, a transputer system and a multiprocessor workstation (shared memory). The OpTiX-II system supports the steps from the formulation of decision problems to their solution on networks of (parallel) computers. In order to demonstrate the use of OpTiX-II, the solution of a decision problem from the field of structural design is discussed and some numerical test results are supplied.","1994-08","published","WP-94-054",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,"","WP-94-054",,,"10",,,"1738","public","working_paper",,,,,,"IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria",,"23",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"","","","",,"","",,,,,,,"",,,,,"FALSE",,,"info:eu-repo/semantics/book",
