Optimization Software Packages
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss software packages for solving optimization problems, focusing on fundamental software that assumes that the problemhas already been formulated in mathematical terms. Such packages can be used directly in many applications, linked to modeling languages or to graphical user interfaces, or embedded in complex software systems such as logistics and supply chain management systems.

Interval computations, rigour and non-rigour in deterministic continuous global optimization
Deterministic branch and bound methods for the solution of general nonlinear programs have become increasingly popular during the last decade or two, with increasing computer speed, algorithmic improvements, and multiprocessors. There are presently several commercial packages. Although such packages are based on exhaustive search, not all of them rigorously take account of roundoff error, singu...
متن کاملVisualizing, Assessing and Re-Modularizing Object-Oriented Architectural Elements
To cope with the complexity of large object-oriented software systems, developers organize classes into subsystems using the concepts of module or package. Such modular structure helps software systems to evolve when facing new requirements. The organization of classes into packages and/or subsystems represents the software modularization. the software modularization usually follows interrelati...
متن کاملCNF Instances from the Software Package Installation Problem⋆
The complexity of software package installations poses a number of key challenges. Very often it is not possible to install all the desired packages and a variety of solutions can be thought of. Recent work has suggested the optimization of a user-provided objective function. The present work aims at characterizing the CNF instances resulting from the software package installation problem. Star...

Typical scientific software designs make rigid assumptions regarding programming language and data structures, frustrating software interoperability and scientific collaboration. Component-based software engineering is an emerging approach to managing the increasing complexity of scientific software. Component technology facilitates code interoperability and reuse. Through the adoption of metho...
متن کاملOptimal Allocation of Standardized Application Software Packages to Business Process Steps: a Simulation Study Based on Communication and Automation Costs
Most research on the utilization of standardized application software packages in large companies is focussed on introducing a certain package for entire processes or even the entire company. A mix of existing, mostly individual applications and selected modules of different standardized application packages, however, may be superior in certain situations. A cost-based model for information sys...
