What about a stochastic optimization techniques like this one described here? http://www.human-competitive.org/sites/default/files/deb-myburgh-paper.pdf http://www.human-competitive.org/sites/default/files/deb-myb... The paper describes a real parameter function optimization problem, but the Gosplan was I think more of a combinatorial one. According to the author, the method described there can also be parallelized.
