The multi objective travelling salesman problem simultaneously optimizes several objectives. It is also called as shortest cyclic route model with multiple objectives provides the shortest route. In this article, the compromised decision support solutions are processed for a multi objective travelling salesman problem. The dynamic programming approach for optimal path with state space tree is used to get the shortest route for the objectives. Based on decision maker's preference, the compromised solution for the multi objective travelling salesman problem is obtained. The proposed methodology is very simple and easy way to get the shortest route which is illustrated with an example.

Electronic learning (E-learning) has been adopted as a new learning tool overcoming time and place limitations. Although the success of e-learning architectures has been investigated by researchers, little work has been conducted to assess the success and/or effectiveness of E-learning systems. The on-line training environment enables users to undertake customized training at any time and any place. Moreover, information technology allows the users to be decoupled in terms of time, place, and space. Here, the author proposes an assessment procedure applying a dynamic programming approach to model the problem of optimal path in the user profile and using reliability to measure the inter connections among users in an e-learning network. A dynamic program is used to find the optimal path for the user in the E-learning environment. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed model are illustrated by an example.

The purpose of this study is to develop an application for finding the shortest path in the transportation sector. The application was developed using the dynamic programming method in MS Excel Visual Basic application. These types of problems are also called stagecoach problems. The purpose of the problem is finding the shortest path between the starting point (node) and the destination point. Values are related to the roads in the network to specify the distance between two nodes. In case of a small number of nodes (activities), a solution can be reached by evaluating all options. But the number of possible options to be scanned for real problems is quite large. In such cases, a suitable method is needed for the solution. It can produce effective solutions with the dynamic programming approach.
