Progress with Software Tools

AMPL is a leading algebraic modelling language for creating linear and non-linear optimisation models, connects to many solvers and is a well-established tool used by academics and industry based modellers. OptiRisk has developed stochastic extensions to the AMPL language (SAMPL) designed to capture alternative Stochastic Programming models and Robust Optimisation formulations. For the processing of stochastic models, SAMPL connects to specialised solvers like FortSP, a decomposition based solver for SP. FortSP in turn is built around embedded solvers: FortMP, CPLEX and Gurobi.

The collaboration between OptiRisk and AMPL has been growing over the years. Recently the two companies started a partnership to extend the range of products in the AMPL family. An IDE and AMPL API have been developed by OptiRisk in partnership with AMPL Optimization Inc and added to the product family.

A list of AML tools based on AMPL

  • AMPL IDE (IP of AMPL Optimization Inc): A basic GUI for AMPL, based on Eclipse
  • AMPL API (IP of AMPL Optimization Inc): A class library which is used to exploit AMPL features from multiple programming environments, such as Java, .NET, Matlab and R.
  • AMPLDev (IP of OptiRisk Systems): Enhanced GUI for AMPL which includes SAMPL and is also based on Eclipse.
  • AMPL Optimization Inc attended INFORMS the Practice meeting at San Antonio and demonstrated AMPL IDE as well as AMPL API.
