AMPL Pre-Conference Workshop
- Date and Duration: Tuesday, May 27th, 16:00 - 17:00
- Title: Enhanced Solver Support in the AMPL Modeling Language
Content
AMPL has set the standard for optimization modeling languages that handle complex models naturally and large models efficiently. As a result it is available for a particularly large number of solvers.
Bob Fourer, an AMPL developer, will give a quick but lucid tour of AMPL and its current solver support, with emphasis on recent enhancements to AMPL's facilities for optimization problems of varied kinds. Topics will include CPLEX 11's new convex quadratic, solution pool, and parameter tuning features, KNITRO 5.2's recognition of complementarity conditions, and LGO's facilities for global optimization, as well as support for open-source solvers from COIN-OR and other sources.
In the hour following this presentation, representatives of OptiRisk Systems will present a tutorial on SAMPL (Stochastic AMPL), an add-on to AMPL for modeling several kinds of optimization under uncertainty.
