In addition to powerful mathematics and modern
computer power, excellence in optimization requires
efficient models and easy to use applications. ILOG
OPL Development Studio provides the fastest way to
build efficient optimization models and
state-of-the-art applications for the full range of
planning and scheduling problems.
Develop, debug, test and tune optimization models.
ILOG's Optimization Programming Language (ILOG OPL)
provides a natural representation of optimization
models, requiring far less effort than
general-purpose programming languages. ILOG OPL has
advanced data types designed for the special needs
of optimization problems, and it fully supports
linear and quadratic objectives and constraints, as
well as real and integer decision variables. It also
supports both mathematical and constraint
programming techniques.
The ILOG OPL integrated development environment
(IDE) makes it easy to evaluate different modeling
approaches to a problem and to integrate external
data. Debugging and tuning tools support the
development process, and once ready, the model can
be deployed into an external application. ILOG OPL
models can be easily integrated into any application
written in Java, .NET or C++. Alternatively, the
ILOG Optimization Decision Manager (ILOG ODM)
extension to ILOG OPL Development Studio can be used
to generate a state-of-the-art decision support
application based on the ILOG OPL model.
Three development packages. ILOG OPL Development
Studio is at the core of three development packages.
Each has been designed to meet the needs of various
organizations wishing to either deliver
optimization-based services or prototype and build
optimization-based decision support applications:
* ILOG OPL-CPLEX Analyst Studio
This is the recommended package for Operations
Research (OR) analysts who occasionally run
optimization models and present their results as
part of special projects, but don't need to create
optimization applications for continuous use. ILOG
OPL can be used from the IDE, which is only
available on Microsoft Windows.
* ILOG OPL-CPLEX Development System
This is the recommended package for those who want
to develop an application with the help of an IT
team. ILOG OPL can be used either from the IDE or
through the application programming interface (API);
and it provides full access to APIs and tools
specific to ILOG CPLEX and ILOG CP Optimizer.
* ILOG OPL-CPLEX-ODM Development System
This is the recommended package for those who want
rapid application development and deployment. It
comes packaged with ILOG ODM to rapidly deliver
intuitive decision support applications with
out-of-the-box support for data analysis, reporting
and scenario management. It provides all the
features to develop, demonstrate, and deploy
optimization application with or without IT support.
ILOG OPL can be used from either the IDE or through
the API; and it provides full access to APIs and
tools specific to ILOG CPLEX and ILOG CP Optimizer.
Take maximum advantage of ILOG CPLEX. ILOG OPL
Development Studio takes maximum advantage of ILOG
CPLEX-the world's leading optimization engine-to
provide the fastest possible execution times, along
with the best in modeling precision and optimization
accuracy. The tight integration enables complete and
easy access to ILOG CPLEX algorithm control
parameters and post- solution information and
analysis.
Rapidly develop ILOG ODM-based decision support
applications. ILOG OPL Development Studio is at the
heart of the ILOG OPL-CPLEX and ILOG OPL-CPLEX-ODM
Development Systems, which support all aspects of
optimization model-based application development.
Reflecting the structure of the underlying
optimization model, ILOG ODM-based applications
allow business users to create scenarios by
adjusting assumptions, costs, resources, operating
constraints and business goals. Solutions can be
reviewed and compared with extensive support for
what-if analysis, scenario comparison, explanations,
and the controlled relaxation of soft constraints.
The finished application can be easily linked to
external databases, to import input data or to store
optimized scenarios with their key solution metrics.
