| Publisher Description: This book deals with the aspects of modeling and solving real-world optimiza- tion problems in a unique combination. It treats systematically the major mod- eling languages and modeling systems used to solve mathematical optimization problems. The book is an offspring ofthe 71 st Meeting of the GOR (Gesellschaft fill Operations Research) Working Group Mathematical Optimization in Real Life which was held under the title Modeling Languages in Mathematical Op- timization during April 23-25, 2003 in the German Physics Society Confer- ence Building in Bad Honnef, Germany. The modeling language providers AIMMS Johannes Bisschop, Paragon Decision Technology B. V, Haarlem, The Netherlands, AMPL Bob Fourer, Northwestern Univ.; David M. Gay, AMPL Optimization LLC., NJ, GAMS Alexander Meeraus, GAMS Development Corporation, Washington D.

The participants benefited greatly from this symposium which gave a useful overview and orientation on today's modeling languages in optimization. Roughly speaking, a modeling language serves the need to pass data and a mathematical model description to a solver in the same way that people, es- Of course, in pecially mathematicians describe those problems to each other. |
