Synopsis:

Stefan Vos and David Woodruff have edited a carefully refereed volume by experts on optimization software class libraries. The book focuses on flexible and powerful collections of computational objects for addressing complex optimization problems. These component class libraries are suitable for use in the increasing number of optimization applications that stand alone or are imbedded in advanced planning, engineering, and bioinformatics applications. Most researchers today use a number of modelling language software packages and a number of software solvers to solve computational problems. This book outlines packaged software class libraries to enable researchers to find cost-effective and efficient methods of getting problems coded into the computer, or into a modelling language package or into optimizing solvers - hence providing software coding solutions to whatever specialized needs a specific problem might require. This text seeks to provide the reader with a rich overview of the variety of components for framing problems.

This book outlines packaged software class libraries to enable researchers to find cost-effective and efficient methods of getting problems coded into the computer, or into a modeling language package or into optimizing solvers - hence providing software coding solutions to whatever specialized needs a specific problem might require. "Optimization Software Class Libraries" provides the reader with a rich overview of the variety of components for framing problems.

With the growing number of application-specific software systems and advance planning methods for specific classes of problems, class libraries for optimization are increasingly useful, practical, and needed. Benefits of "Optimization Software Class Libraries" are: researchers will be able to invest more effort in examining better algorithms, performing experiments, and making use of problem-specific knowledge; the libraries that encapsulate general-purpose algorithms as reusable, high-quality software components are themselves significant contributions to ongoing research; and, in addition to the research benefits, the libraries described provide substantial practical value to organizations that adopt them.
