Modeling with AIMMS, more applications than theory

In this presentation we will demonstrate the capabilities of AIMMS in building (advanced) optimization models as well as building end-user applications for real-life decision support. This presentation consists of three parts, the basics of AIMMS, the modeling competition, and customer cases.

In the first part, we will guide you through the basics of building an optimization model and end-user application using AIMMS. This includes features, like model building and management, GUI building, but also name completion, wizards and other tools to increase the productivity. In the second part, we will show the application that was built by AIMMS experts from Paragon Decision Technology for the problem that was used in the AIMMS MOPTA modeling competition. This model was solved by using a column generation approach using the GMP (Generate Math Program) library. This GMP library allows for lower level control over the math programs.

We end our presentation, with a number of cases from our customers. Our customers apply AIMMS and optimization in a wide variety of industries. In this part, we will show some of those industries as well as the benefits that they had from applying AIMMS and OR in that area.
